What is the dirtiest thing in the house: Many people consider the toilet to be the dirtiest place in the house, believing that it is there that a lot of bacteria accumulates.
This information was reported by Unian, as reported by URA-Inform.
In reality, there are indeed a lot of germs in the toilet, but cleaning experts claim that the dirtiest place in the house is not there, but in the bedroom.
The dirtiest thing in the house, in their opinion, is the pillowcases on which we sleep. In hot weather, a pillowcase becomes a real breeding ground for bacteria and germs. At first glance, this thing seems harmless, but in fact, hundreds of times more bacteria accumulate on it than on the toilet rim.
The reason is that in hot weather people sweat more, and their skin renews itself more actively . The pillowcase becomes saturated with sweat and accumulates dead skin particles – a person loses about half a million of these cells per night. These conditions create an ideal environment for the proliferation of dangerous microorganisms. Research shows that up to 16 types of fungus can live on a single pillow.
Although a dirty pillowcase does not pose a serious health risk, since our bodies contain many bacteria, not all of which are harmful, it is important to minimize the likelihood of contact with dangerous microbes. Experts recommend changing pillowcases in the summer as often as possible, at least once a week.
