14 of the dirtiest daily necessities

Core message: We all know that sanitary environment and health are inseparable. If we do not pay attention to hygiene, we will easily be invaded by bacteria and affect our health. We should change and wash clothes frequently, take a bath frequently, and clean the environment regularly. However, in our daily lives, daily necessities are the most likely to harbor dust and bacteria. Let me show you the 14 dirtiest daily necessities.

1. Bathtub

Many germs often remain undetected in your bathtub. Believe it or not, there are more germs lingering in your drain than in your toilet. It is not enough to clean the bathtub once a week. To prevent the spread of infectious diseases such as staphylococcal infection, urinary tract infection, pneumonia, sepsis, etc. among family members, please clean the bathtub at home.

2. Computer keyboard

Computers are our good friends, but their keyboards are often accompanied by a large number of germs. A research team randomly selected 33 computer keyboards and tested them and found that 4 of them contained bacteria that are harmful to health. One of them was found to carry more bacteria than an average toilet. You can give your keyboard a good cleaning with a special compressed spray or a cloth dampened with mild detergent.

3. Mobile Phone

Germs not only come from hands, saliva is also an important source. People don’t have the habit of cleaning their mobile phones regularly, which is why mobile phones are dirtier.

4. Remote control

Many people neglect to disinfect remote controls, and studies have shown that remote controls have high levels of bacteria, especially those in hotels. Therefore, it is recommended to clean the remote control at least once a week, and more often if the patient has used it.

5. Money

I think we all like money, but no one loves the germs on it - the bacteria on it! From cashiers to business executive offices to homeless people on the street, everyone carries a lot of germs in their pockets. Dr. Darlington of the New York Health Organization measured the number of bacteria on banknotes: 135,000 bacteria were found on one banknote and 126,000 bacteria were found on another. There is actually an easy way to avoid germs - wash your hands, especially after using your wallet.

6. Public Button

The buttons on ATMs, elevators, telephones and water dispensers harbor a large number of germs and viruses. The buttons on the first floor of the elevator are the dirtiest.

7. Toilet

On an average airplane, 50 people share one bathroom. Testing showed E. coli in the pool and other facilities.

8. Shopping cart

The study found that nearly half of the E. coli was on shopping trolleys. These germs and pathogens can be transferred from your shopping trolley to your hands and the food you pick up.

9. Kitchen Sink

Contrary to popular belief, the kitchen may actually be the dirtiest place in your home. A pool has 500,000 bacteria per square inch. To solve this problem, you can try this method: pour 1/2 cup of baking soda and 1/2 cup of vinegar down the drain and then flush it with hot water.

10. Cleaning cotton

In fact, cleaning cotton for washing utensils is also an everyday utensil that is easy to breed bacteria, and it is closely related to the cleaning of our kitchen utensils, so it is important to clean it well. You can put it in the microwave for 60 seconds to remove odors and disinfect it.

11. Chair

When cleaning the house, the chairs that we sit on every day are the most likely to be overlooked. After long-term use, some clothing fibers, dandruff, food residues, etc. will accumulate on the chair, which will become a breeding ground for bacteria. Therefore, it is best to equip the chair with a seat cover and clean it regularly. If there is no seat cover, you can use wide tape to remove the dust, dandruff, etc. attached to the surface every half a month, and then wipe it with a dry sponge or wet rag. If it is an adjustable chair, don't forget to clean the swivel axis as well.
