1. Doorknobs

Bacteria can live on a door handle for up to 24 hours in the right conditions. And once you enter the room, just think of all the other places and things you touch. With each touch, you could be transferring bacteria from the doorknob to new things. Yuck!

2. Bathroom Light Switch

You may not know how many times you turn on the light in the bathroom, but we’re sure it’s multiple times a day. And up to 217 bacteria per square inch may live on the switch.

3. Stair Railing

It’s not just about your hands — it’s all your guests' hands as well. Stair railings can be home for E. coli, staph, and more.

4. Desktop

Home office in the sunshine.

Think of how many items have contact with your desk — not to mention your hands. Depending on your work-from-home situation, this could potentially add up to a whopping 20,961 bacteria per square inch!

5. Keys
