The dirtiest items in your home that you probably forget to clean
Research shows that people are exposed to an average of 60,000 types of germs every day.
Olivia Young, cleaning expert and product development scientist at Astonish, reveals the dirtiest items in your home and how to clean them.
Sponges or kitchen towels
Some of the items we use to clean surfaces are actually the dirtiest. From cleaning counters to cleaning dishes, kitchen sponges or clothing are used multiple times throughout the day. It is often damp and warm, which means that if not cleaned properly it can be an ideal breeding ground for bacteria.
Generally, when you've been using your sponge for about two weeks, it's time to replace it.
Shoes
Shoes are undoubtedly an element of your home full of bacteria. A study suggests that a single shoe sole contains an average of 421,000 units of bacteria, but there's no need to panic.
Most of these germs that accumulate on your shoes won't come into contact with other rooms in your house as long as you remove them when you enter or keep them in a box in your closet.
Food bowls and toys
Food bowls have been found to be the third most contaminated item in homes, meaning they provide a breeding ground for germs and bacteria that could make you and your pet sick.
Wash them with warm, soapy water after each use to keep bacteria away. If toys are made of plastic, you can soak them in warm water with disinfectant or soap. The cuddly toys can be carefully washed in the washing machine on a gentle cycle.
Toothbrush holder
You probably don't think your toothbrush holder is dirty, but the container that holds your toothbrush has more germs than the sink faucets.
Clean the toothbrush holder at least once or twice a week.
A third customer was happy that the gel didn't smell too strong.
"I usually use bleach to remove stubborn toilet stains, but I don't like the smell," they said.
"It was very easy to use and the bottle allows for easy handling and use even with one hand. The smell is much better than bleach.
