According to the Society for General Microbiology, some bacteria divide every 20 minutes at the right temperatures and with the right nutrients.]
Bacteria and viruses can spread from person to person and from person to surface.
Different areas of your home have different levels of risk when it comes to exposing you to bacteria and viruses.
The following are the dirtiest rooms in your house.
3. Bathroom
Due to the moisture from a hot shower, the bathroom is also a perfect place for germ growth. Spots you should pay special attention to include:
• shower tub
• drains
• faucets
• floor area around the toilet
• bath towels
• toothbrushes

2. Living Areas
Whether it's a living room, media or game room, wherever the family gathers, there is hidden dirt and bacteria. Think about how many times someone touches all the remote controls, game controllers, keyboards, tablets, earbuds and headphones, and cell phones in your home. Do they always have clean hands?

1. The kitchen
The kitchen is one of the busiest rooms in most homes and also the dirtiest.
All of the elements that encourage bacteria to grow–heat, moisture, and food–are readily available. Add to that all of the outside elements like raw meats, unwashed fruits and vegetables, and the germs from everyone's purses and backpacks, and the kitchen is teeming with harmful bacteria like E. Coli.
The National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) found that areas where food is stored or prepared had more bacteria and fecal contamination than other places in the home.
More than 75 percent of dish sponges and rags had Salmonella, E. coli, and fecal matter compared to 9 percent on bathroom faucet handles.
The keys areas of concern in the kitchen are:
• Sinks
• Countertops
• Cabinet Pulls
• Refrigerators
• Small Appliances and Kitchen Tools
Remember to always disinfect your areas and never stop using sanitizers
