These are the dirtiest spots around your home - and no, it's not just your toilet

Two kids and their dad cleaning kitchen cabinets using colored microfiber cloths.

We all have our go-to spots to clean around the home - whether that's a quick wipe of the countertops, a speedy vacuum of the rug, or a scrub of the toilet seat. When you're trying to complete household chores on a daily, or weekly, basis it's vital to find convenient solutions and this usually involves the areas that you think accumulate the most germs. What if we told you that the spots you thought were the dirtiest, actually weren't?  

Victorian Plumbing has teamed up with Microbiology Expert, Dr. Manal Mohammed to reveal the top list of bacteria harboring items in the home, and some of them are surprising. She's also provided top tips for how to clean them, so once you realize which spots you've been missing it will be easy to get them squeaky clean. After all, your kitchen can harbor bacteria such as Salmonella, E. coli, yeast, and mold and can ultimately lead to cross-contamination and foodborne illnesses. So whether you need the best vacuum cleaners to help you get the job done, or even the best steam mops to kill off any pesky germs, you'll soon be ready to target even the most unassuming areas in your home.
