10 of the dirtiest things in the house

If you believe in advertising, most of the microbes in the house accumulate under the rim of the toilet. But scientific research shows that this is not quite so, to put it mildly. What places in the house can be called the biggest sources of dirt? We present to your attention the rating of the dirtiest items in our house.

Top-10 dirtiest items

1. Strangely enough, the leadership of the number of bacteria in the house is surely held by the object, the direct purpose of which is to make our house cleaner - a kitchen sponge. This small piece of foam rubber contains about 10 million bacteria, which is 200,000 times more than in the toilet. That is why the dishwashing sponge needs to be replaced on time, and in no case should it be brought to the "half-life" period.
2. Second place in the number of bacteria is another kitchen assistant - a kitchen towel. Although harmful microorganisms on it and an order of magnitude less than on a sponge, but still there are more than 20 000 times than in the toilet. The only way out is to either change the towel in the kitchen every day, or use disposable paper towels.
3. Honorable third place in the list of the largest household dirty-nosed is the well-known cutting board. Malignant microorganisms on it accumulate about 200 times more than on the notorious toilet. That is why in the house you need to have separate cutting boards for all kinds of products: meat, fish, greens, bread. And each of the boards should be thoroughly washed, and after washing, disinfect 5% vinegar.
4. Another favorite home of bacteria in the house is the shower curtain. Due to the warm moist environment, it actively multiplies pathogens and fungi, so it entered our rating at number four.
5. Although most of the townsfolk use special plastic bags for garbage collection, garbage buckets and dirt baskets are among the top five. Each time after throwing out the next package, the bucket must be washed with a disinfectant, and then thoroughly dried.
6. On the sixth place, microbes and bacteria living on the toilet seat were snug. It is here, and not under the rim, they accumulate in huge quantities.
7. The doors of the dishwasher and washing machine , as well as the refrigerator, appear on the list of the dirtiest items in the house at number seven. Therefore, do not be lazy and include them in the list of surfaces that are subject to daily cleaning.
8. Strangely enough, at number eight on the list of dirty things appears another chaser of cleanliness - a washing machine. In a warm, moist and dark environment inside the machine, bacteria and microbes that have got into it together with dirty clothes multiply actively. Fight them with a monthly washing machine hot water with vinegar or citric acid.
9. The keyboard, mouse, remote controls and handset divided the ninth position of our rating fraternally. Dirt, dust, particles of skin, hair, crumbs and much, much more can be found in these devices, if you disassemble them. Therefore, from time to time we arrange for our small friends a big cleaning - wipe them with alcohol from the outside, and if possible inside.
10. Defenders from prying eyes: curtains, curtains and blinds close the top ten dirtiest objects in the house. In the home dust that accumulates on these objects you can find the entire periodic table, almost in its entirety. Therefore, every 10-15 days we send curtains and curtains to the washing machine, and the blinds are cleaned of dust with warm water and detergent.
