11 Germiest Places in Your Home

If someone asked you what the dirtiest thing in your house was, you’d say your toilet, right? Wrong. It seems like that’s the obvious choice, but take a look at this list for all the things in your house that should be cleaned more often.

10.COFFEE MACHINE

It’s something you use everyday, and you probably clean the pot but what about the basket where the coffee brews? It's a prime dark and damp location for bacteria to thrive.
