Start cleaning by tackling the bathroom first.
Why Start with the Bathroom?
According to provided resources, the bathroom is the dirtiest room in the house and requires more attention to eliminate harmful bacteria. Here's why:
- High Germ Concentration: The bathroom harbors a high concentration of germs, including viruses like herpes and HPV, and bacteria like E. coli.
- Dirty Surfaces: Many bathroom surfaces can harbor harmful microorganisms.
- Surprising Hotspots: Even seemingly clean items like toothbrush holders can be germ hotspots. In fact, the germiest place in the bathroom is your toothbrush holder.
Prioritizing the Bathroom
Starting with the bathroom allows you to address the most contaminated area of your home upfront. This helps prevent the spread of germs to other rooms during the cleaning process. By disinfecting the bathroom, you create a cleaner base from which to tackle the rest of your house.
