3. Your Cell Phone
Your phone is definitely one of the dirtiest items in your house. A 2009 study tested the cell phones of 200 healthcare workers and discovered that 31.3% were infected with gram-negative strains of bacteria.
You may wonder what’s up with these types of bacteria. According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, certain groups of these harmful germs can fight off the available antibiotic drugs. The point here? You should wipe down your cell phone, stat!
4. Your Bathroom Sink
The place in your bathroom where you wash your hands is also one of the dirtiest items in your house. Yes, we’re talking about the sink. Surprisingly (or not), when Mira Showers hired a team of researchers from the School of Biological Sciences at Bristol University to test certain bathroom surfaces for germs in 2018, they discovered that the sink was the most bacteria-infested.
Per the study’s findings, about 80% of the sink’s surface contained germs, making it the dirtiest place in your bathroom (even when compared to the toilet seat).
