We all think that there is nothing dirtier than toilet seats; we keep wipes in case we need to use the washroom at a public place or our offices or even at a friend’s place. Well, you’re wrong. There are other everyday items that are dirtier than our toilet seats!
Smartphones
A lot of us use our smartphones on the toilet. This means that our smartphone screens could be covered in 10 times more bacteria than a toilet seat. Clean your smartphones with anti-bacterial wipes if you use them in the washroom.
Make-up bags & brushes
Make-up bags and accessories often harbour bacteria. If you use brushes that have contact with your skin and then put them back into the same bag, you’re transferring germs from your skin to the bag and then back again when you reuse them. Make sure to wash your brushes and clean out your kit at least once a week.
Filters in washing machine & fridge
The purpose of filters is to trap all the dirt and debris that make its way through the system, it is inevitable that these filters eventually get overloaded and clogged. Make sure you clean out the lint catcher in your washing machine and the filter tray under your fridge, as both are prone to building up germs.
Side of ovens
Ovens that are built-in are vulnerable to food spillage that falls from the pan and down the side of the oven. This not only leaves bad odour but also creates bacteria. The only way to clean this is by taking the oven out of where it is placed and thoroughly cleaning it.
