It’s probable that you have a friend that keeps her or his home spotless. But their spotless home probably has areas that are covered in germs. In some places, even enough to create a slimy barrier of almost pure germs.
Here are the 8 places in your home that are hiding germs and bacteria:
Toothbrushes:
Think about that next time you go to brush your teeth. I guess when you think about it, this isn’t a surprise. Our mouths are very dirty areas. Now we stick the toothbrush in there and swish it around.
But wait, you’ve used toothpaste. That helps, right? Nope, toothpaste has fluoride but no germ killing additives. Of course, maybe that’s good. Who wants a mouth full of bleach or rubbing alcohol?
As they say in the commercials, “But wait, there’s more!” If you keep your toothbrushes in a cup, you have a cup full of bacteria. Yum.
When was the last time you put that cup through the dishwasher to get out the dried spit, dried toothpaste and that oddly colored, wet, green glop at the bottom of the cup?
2. Your computer keyboard:
What’s hiding underneath your keys? Those keys are a perfect place for “stuff” to fall into. Here’s a thought: have you ever used your keyboard after doing “something” yucky (working in the yard, cleaning the cat litter box and ever so much more). You just forgot to wash your hands, right? We’re not gonna think about that.
Do you eat at your computer desk? How many old meals would we recognize if we pulled off all the keys?
Notice how shiny some keys are? No, that’s not how they came from the factory. That’s oil from your hand. A great place for germs to live and breed.
3. Your television remotes:
Now here’s something else that’s like the computer keyboard: any television remote. All the same problems as a computer keyboard but in a smaller, handier package.
Here’s a thought: Your husband seems to think they make the remotes from gold bars and he won’t give ‘em up to save his life. Ugg, let him have them. They’re nasty. Besides that, where have your husband’s hands been?
4. Your washing machine:
