Bacteria are part of living organism that exists.
There are good bacteria and dangerous
bacteria that cause illness. This dangerous
bacteria looms everywhere even on surfaces
that one cannot imagine they would. They exist
on objects that are used on a daily basis with
some of them having more bacteria than a
toilet seat. This means that people should be
careful when using objects to ensure that they
clean them often to reduce the amount of
bacteria on them. Some of the bacteria include
Ecoli, Salmonella, and Staphylococcus.

1. Ring
A ring harbors more germs underneath it than
anyone can imagine. This is because it is always
fixed in one place no matter what the wearer
touches. One washes dirt, goes to the
washroom, touches dirty clothes and even eats
when the ring is still on.
The germs find a warm place to hide on the
underside. To prevent the germs and bacteria,
the ring should be removed and the area
cleaned often.

2. Laundry
Cleaning laundry is meant to remove all the
dirt and germs. Most of the time the clothes
are washed together with the underwear.
Surprisingly underwear contains about 0.1
grams of fecal matter. Therefore, if you put
your clothes and underwear together for
washing, your laundry will end up with a trace
of fecal matter.
This has harmful bacteria such as Ecoli and
coliform. The washing machines are not left
out, because they also contain traces of the
harmful bacteria and fecal matter.

3. Money
Money circulates everywhere and people with
all manner of dirt touch it. Apart from
containing bacteria, research has shown that
money also contains traces of cocaine in
addition to other dirt. Most people are careful
about washing their hands after handling dirt
or going to the washroom. They are even wary
of someone who touches their food with dirty
hands.
However, when it gets to the cashier who is
handling their food order, they do not raise an
issue. The truth is that the cashier may be
harboring more germs than the dirty gardener.

4. Computer keyboard
Nowadays computers have become like the
book and a pen. The only problem is that they
are hardly cleaned resulting to harboring more
germs and bacteria.
One can go into the washrooms and wash their
hands afterwards, but go back to using a
keyboard that has more bacteria than the toilet
seat, and take a bite of a fruit at the same time.
A cleanup at least once a week can help to
reduce the amount of germs and bacteria
present on the keyboard.

6. Kitchen countertop
Foods pass through the kitchen countertop
before they get to the table. The top is
therefore exposed to all sorts of dirt and
germs.
The countertop may contain the Ecoli from the
chicken and raw meat, dirt from the roots, dirt
from utensils and so on. If the countertop is
not cleaned and disinfected often, it can end
up becoming a breeding zone for bacteria.

7. Mobile phone
Mobile phones are touched all the times. It
does not matter if you are in the kitchen
cutting raw meat or doing clean up in the
home. Some people even use their phones
when in the toilet. This only exposes bacteria
and germs to the phone.
However, it does not occur to most people that
the phones need to be cleaned often. The
phones end up being a source of transmitting
dangerous bacteria such as Ecoli.

8. Cutting boards
Cutting boards is the place where chicken and
raw meat is cut. If they are not cleaned
properly, they can harbor dangerous bacteria
such as Ecoli. It is dangerous to cut meat on a
cutting board and then cut vegetables that are
eaten raw without washing the board properly.
Wooden boards are the biggest culprits of
harboring germs because they have pores.
Plastic boards are safer but they can also be
chipped when cutting resulting to cracks where
bacteria and germs can hide.
