You know the cleanest place in the bathroom is the toilet seat. The water faucet and door handles have tens of thousands more germs than the toilet seat.

Please, PP, what else you got? The sky is blue? It's not like I'm grabbing faucets and door handles with my bare hands. I barely like to even [i]breathe[/i] in public restrooms!  :lol: [/quote]

wans't it great when we were much younger and our parents didn't know how dirty things were  and we all turned out OK...

Surprisingly, the toilet seat has only 150 units of bacteria compared to the worst offender, the sink which has 50,000 units of bacteria! After washing your hands, you will likely want to dry them, this can also get tricky. If you have the option between the hot air dryer and paper towel – stick to one paper towel as studies show it is a far more superior at reducing bacteria from hands than any alternative. Other areas to avoid are the tap and the first and last thing we normally touch – the door handle. Make sure you use paper towel to open the door, or else your respectable hand washing effort will have gone to waste before you even leave the restroom.

There’s a 72% chance that your shopping cart has fecal bacteria on it (eww) and it’s also an easy way to pick up colds or the flu virus. It’s a good idea to carry anti-bacterial wipes to clean it off before shopping, especially if you have small children that tend to touch everything.

Two studies carried out in 2012 had rather shocking results. Researchers at the University of Guelph and University of Houston tested the surfaces of a combined 63 hotel rooms to review, among other things, the sanitary state of remote controls.

The results weren’t pretty. One study found that remote controls produced around 68 CFU/cm2 of bacteria. That’s more than eight times the amount found on the average public toilet surface (8 CFU/cm2), according to a different study by the University of Arizona.
