The dirtiest places in the house - top 10

We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the rating of the dirtiest objects in the apartment.

Sponges, rags for washing and cleaning

Sponges and cleaning rags are in the first position of our list. A humid environment is the most optimal for the development of microbes. That is why the washcloths must be changed at least once a week.

Kitchen towels

Kitchen towels are in the second position, all because they often wipe your hands and at the same time they do not dry out as expected. Remember to wash your kitchen towels at least twice a week and let them dry after use.

Cutting board

The third position is occupied by the kitchen board. Yes, the item we use to prepare food. The number of germs on the cutting board is about 200 times the number of germs in the toilet. But this does not mean that it is necessary to abandon the board altogether. You need to purchase several cutting boards for individual products - meat, fish, vegetables. Do not use boards made of wood, give preference to metal products.

Shower curtain

How often do you wash the shower curtain? In order to prevent microorganisms from developing on it, it must be washed at least twice a month. After each shower, the curtain must be left unfolded so that it dries out, because excess moisture is an excellent medium for the development of microbes.

Attention! It is not recommended to use polyethylene shower curtains. Give preference to vinyl because they are less moldy. A significant advantage of vinyl curtains is that they can be machine washed.

To kill mold, you need to soak the curtains in salt water. Ventilate the bathroom as often as possible and let the curtains dry well.

Trash bin, container

Of course, there will never be perfect cleanliness in the vicinity of waste. In order to maintain cleanliness in the apartment, throw out the garbage every day, and do not store waste from vegetables in the apartment for more than three hours. Every two weeks, wash your bleach bin and use the drawstring trash bags.

Stulchak

It is in sixth place. No matter what anyone says, but it cannot be called the dirtiest thing in the apartment. The number of microbes on it is equal to 50 pieces per 6 cm, which is several thousand less than the leaders of our collection.

Refrigerator, washer, microwave, dishwasher doors

It is the doors of the refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave oven that are located on the seventh position of the list. Therefore, they must be cleaned regularly.

If you didn’t notice how the food went bad and didn’t remove them from the refrigerator on time, then they began to spread and at the same time contaminate other foods. Every time a spoiled product is found in the refrigerator, the refrigerator compartment must be thoroughly washed. All food should be stored in a resealable container.

The dishwasher door seal must be cleaned with a special cleaning agent once a month. The camera should be wiped dry after each use to prevent the growth of microorganisms.

After each wash, the door of the washing machine must also be rubbed dry and under the gasket, as well. Leave the door open after each wash until the moisture is completely dry.

In order to completely disinfect the equipment, it is necessary to regularly rinse all removable parts.

Washing machine

What are your next steps after washing clothes in a washing machine? Just close the door and go on with your business? This is a gross mistake. Each time after the laundry has already been taken out of the washer, the door must be thoroughly wiped with a dry cloth and completely wiped off the water under the rubber band. The washing machine is then left open for several hours. If you leave moisture in the machine after washing, then the microbes will multiply at a tower speed.

Remote control, mouse, keyboard, phone receiver

The penultimate position is occupied by things that we use every day - a keyboard, a computer mouse, a mobile phone, a TV remote control. Have you ever disassembled a keyboard at least once in your life? And what did you observe there? Dirt, food crumbs, hair and even the remains of dead insects... That is why all of the above items need regular cleaning - wipe them as often as possible with alcohol, if possible inside too.

Hallway, rug in the hallway

In this room, there are millions of bacteria that we bring from the street. It is in the corridor that pets love to live so much, especially on the shoes of their owner, and then carry all this dirt around the apartment. By the way, it is through shoes that a pet can pick up a serious illness, so do not allow your pets to sleep near the shoes.

First you need to purchase a rug on which you will take off your shoes, and then go further. It is on it that the bulk of the dirt will remain and the apartment will become noticeably cleaner.

Every week, the rug must be washed with detergent and warm water. Shoes should be cleaned and washed immediately upon arrival home. The floors in the hallway must be washed every day with the addition of floor detergent.

Have you ever thought that there are 4000 times more bacteria on one cm of carpet in the hallway than on the toilet. Shaggy carpets in the hallway are the best option for the growth of bacteria, the accumulation of debris, mites and skin debris ...

Remember to vacuum the carpet as often as possible. To remove dirt from the carpet, you can use ammonia diluted in water. The stains are then brushed off the carpet with a brush. After that, it is necessary to ventilate the room, and hang the carpet on the balcony to dry completely.
