About this episode
You might assume that your toilet bowl is the dirtiest place in your flat or house, but in fact that’s pretty far from the truth. Our homes are actually filled with items that are perfect hosts for germs and bacteria, and sometimes it’s the objects you least suspect. For example those in your kitchen or bathroom in particular. According to BBC Food, the domestic kitchen is to blame for a fair share of the 2.4 million cases of food poisoning that occur in the UK each year. What’s the dirtiest item in the kitchen then? What other items should I be cleaning more often? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Which are the dirtiest parts of our bodies?
