5 Germiest Spots in Your Home

I stopped using sponges a long time ago, especially kitchen ones. I use dishcloths everyday and use a clean one everyday. I wash them in hot water and bleach.

Lot of assholes on here being so stupid and condescending as usual...if ya don't wanna clean anything, then DON"T, but for people who don't mind getting a few ideas about cleaning, then at least someone is learning a few tricks about what to clean and where to look for filth. So stop being rude to everyone that DOES care about this stuff.

everything has germs! boohaaaa!

I better get straight home to clean my Yoga Mat!!

The exhaust vent on the microwave.

why people worry so much about what part of the house is the dirtiest? how will you imagine the people that live on the street who's trying to survive day by day? they even get their food in the trash barrel just to put something in their stomach. i have seen them do that, so please let us be thankful that we have a place to live and have food to eat all the time.

The remote control; especially in the family room! Think about it! Yuck!

Remote controls,....all I could think of when the debit/credit cards were menttioned, is the machines they fit into. The buttons on those machines....can't even imagine. I have a leather purse with cloth compartments (3 of them). You can be pull them out towards the top of the purse, I spray those with resolve, and then hang the purse upside down, to keep the resolve from getting on the leather. (even pen marks and makeup come out). Then while it is upside down I rinse the linings and hand the purse upside down to dry. When dry, you just push the cloth compartments back in where they were. Works really well. My purse is beige and the inside compartments still look like new :)

I am always wiping everything down with Clorox wipes, during the winter months especially. I make sure to wipe doorknobs, refrigerator handles, remotes, phones. Cabinet doors, the microwave, any place where hands are touching a lot. I live with my boyfriend and yes, he makes fun of me.

I regularly spray all handles , lids knobs etc. with Lysol Disinfecting Spray. Also the air.

No mention of Vinyl blinds in that section...I think it is fair to say that the majority of working class Americans have those!
Yoga Mats...yeah, we ALL have those! lol
Credit Cards? Cash is by far more dirty!
You should be concerned with: 1. Door Knobs 2. Toilet 3. Refrigerator Handles 4. Car Handles and Interior Knobs 5. Laundry Baskets 6. New Toothbrushes 7. Bathtub 8. Bathroom Sink 9. Kitchen Sponge 10. Computer Keyboards and Devices 11. Pets and all their stuff

Here's a tip, GE A LIFE! If all it takes is a couple germs to kill you, then you're already dead anyway. If it makes you feel better then do this: Pick up the keyboard in front of you. Flip it upside down and shake. Take everything that falls out and make a sandwich.

I haven't read all the posts but I didn't see anyone mention the dirtest inch in the house. The cutting blade on your can opener. If you haven't thought to clean it, take a look. If that doesn't gross you out, I don't know what will. This is blade is dipped into every can you open. Yumm.

Cell phones, computer keyboards, remote controls, under the fridge, under the stove, light switches, etc.

Yes- ANYTHING that the public has access to will be covered in really disgusting stuff- that includes your credit card!!! Most people DO NOT wash their hands properly. Even if they do- people touch their face, nose, put their fingers in their bacteria laden mouths etc...
IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO CLEAN EVERYTHING ONCE IN A WHILE. You don;t have to let it run your life.

PS You're soooo right about the washing machine & just think about the laundromat ones- GROSS!!!!!!

Well there's another 3 minutes of my life wasted on nothing

um...Flip flops too!

The cutting edge of a can opener collects gunk quite rapidly. Attack it with a retired toothbrush.

Really? You think you need to wash the interior of the washing machine because you wash your underwear in it? Hmm, not sure about you, but I use detergent, which will clean everything.
