Summary:

This article is about how clean or filthy some places in our house really are.
We are inclined to say that the dirtiest place is our toilet seat but is this true?
According to scientist at an average toilet seat there are 50 bacteria per square inch. The same scientist found out that our cutting board is 200 times filthier. Should we cut our food on the toilet seat than, no but the experts say we better clean our cutting board just like our toilet seat.
The cutting board is dirtier this is due to the raw meat we cut on it.
The dirtiest thing in our household is the sponge and the cleaning clot! But do not forget your cell phone it is as dirty as your toilet seat…and your keyboard hold 200 times as many bacteria.
Our sponge holds 10 million bacteria per square inch and it is not only the amount of bacteria but also the dangerous E.coli bacteria that are in such a sponge makes the sponge dangerous thing. Are we at risk than in our house? We need to replace these things regularly.

Several scientist around the world tested different houses and what they found out is that household above the equator are cleaner that the households below the equator.
Not only objects in our houses are filthy don’t forget the shopping trolleys and the reusable bags. Some people have more faecal bacteria their grocery bag than in their underwear.

If we want to prevent ourselves we need to wash our hands several times a day and certainly after we have visited the little room.

Opinion:

I already knew that the toilet was not the worst place to be when it comes to hygiene in our house. Because we are so aware of the dirt and faeces we can find there we tend to clean it more often. I would have imagined the door handle would be one of the filthiest places we have in our household. Luckily I do not use a sponge but this article made me aware that I had to get a new dishcloth. You forget how dirty things we use every day can get. I do not want to know how many bacteria there are on my keyboard…while I’m writing this piece!! Maybe it is better when you do not think of it too much. And maybe once in awhile we need to get a fresh cloth and clean our cell phone and keyboard. I think I would now!!

And wash my hands a bit more often.
