"If
an alien came from space and studied the bacterial counts [in your
home], he probably would conclude that he should wash his hands in your
toilet and crap in your sink." -Charles Gerba, microbiologist.
Pretty nasty, eh? The science behind the statement is
that as bad as your bathroom is [and believe me, its bad], it is on the
bottom of the list as far as your house goes.
1. Kitchen sponge.
2. Kitchen sink.
3. Bathroom sink.
4. Kitchen faucet handle.
What kind of bacteria? FECAL COLIFORM... thats right. Shitty bacteria/organisms infest your home! HAHAHA. ok so its not funny, so sue me.
But wait, what else do you need to know?
Every time you flush your toilet, fecal bacteria shoots
up into the air in the 20 feet surrounding the toilet when you flush.
It essentially covers everything in the bathroom. And yet, your kitchen
is worse. How does that sound? I think I need to go home and clean. I
really hate cleaning dammit.
Ok, so what we're supposed to do about it:
1. Clean sinks and drains daily with a cleaner that has bleach in it [kills 99.9% of fecal organisms]
2. Just say NO to the kitchen sponge. Don't use sponges or dishrags to
clean counters, cutting boards, and dishes all with the same one. Your
dishes should have their own.
3. Clean countertops, faucets, and appliances 2-3x per week.
4. Clean tubs/showers/toilets weekly.
ALL WITH A BLEACH CLEANER.
Its a good thing I'm not skeerd o' germs 'cause I don't see me being that precise. But seriously, YUCK.
