I don’t mean to freak anyone out or anything, but you’re probably not being as clean as you think you are.
You’re probably doing most things right. You hover over public toilet seats, and wash your hands carefully. You regularly wipe down your kitchen bench and sometimes you even put in the effort to clean the fridge.
Unfortunately… it’s not enough. Scientists are constantly coming up with new information regarding the germiest places in our lives, and many of them are places you may never have thought of.
Here are the germiest places you’re not cleaning. There’s no need to freak out and spend the rest of your life applying hand sanitiser – but you might like to grab the Spray & Wipe and give the following things a wipe down…
1. Your bags
Your handbag is very unfortunately a sad, bacteria-filled place – last year, a study found that one in five handbags pose a legitimate risk to human health. As for the items in handbags? Hand cream was found to have more bacteria than a toilet seat. I KNOW.
But that’s not all. Your gym bag, your grocery bag and even your favourite travelling wheely suitcase are all major culprits of carrying bacteria from all the different surfaces that they come into contact with. This is sad news for people who have never even considered cleaning any of the bags they own. Not that I know what it’s like to be that person. Cough.
