If we tend to think that the toilet bowl is the dirtiest, we are wrong; indeed, other everyday objects present at home are real breeding grounds for bacteria. Also at a time when we are stuck between our walls because of this damn pandemic, we need more than ever to be vigilant about the good performance of our interiors. Obviously we will favor ventilation to compensate for internal pollution at home.
Yes, let's flood our homes with fresh air but let's also be alert about all these everyday objects that we handle, forgetting how much they are real nests for bacteria; objects present in particular in our kitchens and bathrooms (yet a temple devoted to our hygiene) which can be the source of viral diseases (colds, gastro and co) or various and sometimes serious infections (staphylococcus, escherichia coli,…).
Note that a 2003 report from the World Health Organization tells us that 40% of food poisoning cases reported in Europe come from private homes.
