The most common places to find germs in your home has been revealed by an expert, with everything from baths to salt and pepper shakers making the list.
Germs are lurking in unsuspecting parts of your house, according to Terry Fisher of property buying service WeBuyAnyHome. He says no home is totally free from bacteria. He said: “While the usual cleaning tasks such as mopping floors, cleaning showers and wiping surfaces regularly are fairly obvious, items that are used everyday and perhaps haven’t been disinfected for months or even years can be forgotten.
"Household staples such as remote controls, salt and pepper shakers and door handles are used many times per day and we don’t usually think to disinfect them regularly. While it can be a difficult task to keep our homes spick and span and keep germs at bay, knowing some of the worst offenders can be half the battle.”
