An expert has revealed common household items are hotbeds for germs that could be making us sick - from baths to salt and pepper shakers. Germs lurk in even the most unsuspecting of places, according to Terry Fisher of property buying service WeBuyAnyHome.
He said: “Most of us like to think our houses are nice and clean and we do a good job of banishing germs. But the truth is it’s impossible to keep our homes totally free from bacteria and even the most unlikely of everyday items are breeding grounds.
“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.
