Dirt is all around us. It's everywhere outside and once we go there, it attaches to our hair and clothing, and we bring it home with us. Of course, nowadays it's easy to get rid of the dirt, by cleaning our homes regularly and by taking a shower every day. Today there are many detergents, which are created especially to get rid of the harmful and unpleasant germs. They are not so expensive and efficient at the same time. But even if we clean absolutely every surface in our homes and on us, there are still some things we forget to clean on a regular basis. We usually just forget they may be dirty and dangerous for our health. But this is no excuse! We still need to take care of this before it's too late. Check out the dirtiest things we always keep around us, and make sure to clean them very thoroughly! 


Keys. Everybody uses keys nowadays. They are a great tool, which protects our homes and offices from intruders, who want to steal our precious possessions. But have you ever wondered how much germs can be held there? Well, I know I have, and after I researched the issue I was stunned. The keys are one of the dirtiest things we have in our homes. It actually makes a lot of sense, because, we always leave our keys on tables, dressers, drawers and God knows where else. And we always touch them without thinking if our hands are clean. And oh yes, we never wash them with soap or detergent, or anything in that matter. This is just a recipe for disaster. The best thing we can do is to at least sterilise them with some spirit.


Headphones. With the development of technologies listening to music by using headphones has become very popular. This way we can enjoy our favourite songs without bothering anyone in the room with it. And after the mobile technologies have blossomed, we can even listen to music while we walk on the street. But the headphones can be also very dangerous, because we keep them in our bags, we put them in our ears and we often forget to clean them. And if we don't clean the headphones regularly, there is always a risk of an ear infection. This is why we should use a softer detergent and clean them gently and thoroughly at least once a week. Buying a small case for the headphones also wouldn't be such a bad idea.


The phone. Everyone nowadays has mobile phones everywhere. But if you find out how many germs these phones gather just for a month, you will probably throw yours away in an instance. A recent study proved, that the phone gathers many bacteria simply because people never consider it needs cleaning too. Just think about it. We leave our phones on many different tables at home, in cafés, in our offices and in many different not so sanitary places. We pick them up without thinking if our hands are clean and we press them to our faces after that. Does this sound sanitary? I guess not. The solution here is quite easy – just wipe the phone with an antibacterial wet tissue once in a while. Just make sure it's turned off before you do it.


The handbag. Do I even need to explain why our handbags are dirty? For those, who still haven't figured it out – it's because we leave them practically everywhere! And many people don't wash them even once. This is something you need to fix right away! The handbag can be even washed in the washing machine with the rest of the laundry. And if you have any questions or if you want to know more about the upholstery cleaning in Sydney, you can also call a professional company for a free query.


Water bottle. The water bottle is also one of the dirtiest things we keep around us. It may sound silly, but it's true. The reasons are the same – we put them everywhere, but we never bother to wash them. So, either use some soap and water on it or just buy new ones regularly!
