25 Unexpected Things That Are Dirtier Than Your Toilet
It seems that the toilet has gotten a bad rap. We all shun it as the dirtiest part of the house when in reality there are a lot of supposedly clean places that are exponentially filthier. These are 25 unexpected things that are dirtier than your toilet.
25
Ice
A study of fast food restaurants in the US found that 70% of the ice served had more bacteria than the toilet water.
24
Restrooom floors
No real surprise here. Public restrooms have about 2 million bacteria per square inch. The average toilet seat has only 50 per square inch.
23
Office desks
The average desk has 400 times more bacteria than a toilet.
22
Keyboards
Keyboards can have up to 200 times more bacteria than a toilet seat.
21
Cellphones
Our mobile devices can have 10 times more bacteria than toilet seats…and they’re always touching our faces. Would you wipe the inside of your toilet bowl with your cheek?
20
Restaurant menus
There are on average 100 times more bacteria on restaurant menus than on restroom toilet seat.
19
Chopping boards
These babies actually have a lot more poop smeared on them than your toilet does. Raw meat apparently carries a very high level of fecal bacteria.
18
Toothbrushes
When you flush your toilet the germs can travel up to 6 feet and linger for up to 2 hours. A lot of them end up on toothbrushes. So how is your toilet cleaner than your brush if that’s where the germs come from? Stick around to find out!
17
Carpets
With 200,000 bacteria per square inch, carpets are 4,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat. Humans shed 1.5 million skin cells every hour which helps feed the bacteria in carpets.
16
Refrigerator
Most fridges test positive for E coli.
15
Reusable shopping bags
Your reusable shopping bags have more fecal matter than your underwear because you at least wash that.
14
TV remote control
In many households this is one of the dirtiest items you can handle.
13
Door knobs
Hands are one of the dirtiest parts of the body, and most people use them to open their doors.
12
Light swtich
These can have up to 217 bacteria per square inch.
11
Kitchen sink
Forget the toilet, TODAY reported not long ago how your sink could easily be dirtier than your entire bathroom.

The place you go to get clean may not be the first place you think of when you consider bacteria but the area around the drain can have up to 19,468 bacteria per square inch.

Pillow
Dead skins cells, dust mites, fungal spores, pollens, and other body secretions are all floating around in the place you stick your head at night.

Did you know that after 10 years your mattress will nearly double in weight thanks to the number of dust mites and dust mite poop that it has collected?
