Most people may have in mind that the dirtiest room in the house is the bathroom, as there are objects or spots that collect most germs or bacteria. However, as research has shown, there are five items in your kitchen that are even dirtier than the entire bathroom.
In fact, these are objects that we use every day and not just once. See below what they are:
The kitchen towels
They are considered the dirtiest object in the house, since according to research, they "host" approximately 10 million bacteria per square inch, ie 200 thousand more than what is in the toilet seat.
The cutting surface
One of the dirtiest objects is the surface where we cut raw meat and vegetables. According to research, it "hosts" 200 times more germs than the toilet seat. According to experts, the cutting surface is a source of infection, due to its contact with raw meat, which is known to be a source of bacteria.
The handle of the kettle
According to relevant research, many bacteria accumulate in the handle of the kettle, which are transferred to it from the hands and which return to the hands. In fact, it is one of the places where we do not disinfect often, even when we should because of daily use.
Kitchen sponge
They collect microorganisms and mold especially if we do not dry them but also from food debris. According to experts, you should change the kitchen sponge at least twice a month and dry it well after each use.
Sink
One of the most "used" parts of the house. Here the dishes are cleaned from the delicious food we make, but there are also bacteria that are in the kitchen sink and that can even cause diseases. Especially if you just rinse the dishes and glasses to put them in the dishwasher, the bacteria get stuck in the sink and various forms of bacteria reproduce such as e-coli and salmonella. Be sure to clean the sink thoroughly each time.
