While the sponge resting by your kitchen sink is a minefield of bacteria, your toothbrush might be worse! Studies have commonly found coliform bacteria and staph hiding in those bristles. The high moisture levels and toilet activities make the bathroom a ripe breeding ground. Faucet handles are also prone to contamination since we’re usually touching them with dirty hands before we wash them. Helpful Tip: Disinfect faucet handles with wipes or spray and cover/replace your toothbrush every three months.
