Let's talk about some unexpected germ hotspots that might give you the heebie-jeebies! 😳

1. **Your Keyboard:** Believe it or not, your keyboard is probably dirtier than your bathroom! 😱

It's like a germ party with bacteria like staphylococci, streptococci, and other nasties hanging out there. Yikes!

To keep it clean, try disinfecting it at least once a week. If it's a shared keyboard, maybe bump up the cleaning frequency a bit. Grab some wipes with 70% alcohol and give it a good wipe-down. And hey, don't go thinking higher alcohol percentages are better – they just evaporate too fast to do the job properly.

2. **TV Remote:** Be honest now, when was the last time you cleaned your TV remote? 📺

With everyone in the family pawing at it daily, it's a breeding ground for germs. Grab some alcohol wipes or a damp microfibre cloth with alcohol and give it a quick wipe every day. Your remote – and your peace of mind – will thank you!

3. **Bathroom Tap:** Okay, brace yourself for this one. The bathroom tap – you know, the one you touch right after doing your business – is a germ magnet. 😬

It's like a party spot for bacteria like e. coli and other not-so-pleasant types. Studies even show that homes with kids and pets tend to be germier! So, maybe give that tap an extra scrub when you're cleaning the bathroom.

Stay clean, stay healthy, and remember to give those sneaky germ hideouts a good scrub every now and then!

Germs are everywhere–in the air, water, soil and even in food. These include viruses, but also bacteria, fungi and other gross stuff that can infect us.
