We clean our kitchens and we clean our toilets, because that's where the germs are, right? Sure, but bacteria, viruses, fungi, and even insects are more universal than our cleaning habits are. During the pandemic, we learned to clean our doorknobs and wash our hands correctly. But you can't get those nasty little germs off everything. Chill Dude Explains might ruin your day by looking at the things that never get washed in our homes and revealing how nasty they can get. He explains how you can mitigate the germ infestations on some of these, but not all of them. It's a good thing we have immune systems, right?
You might check off your lifestyle habits as the list goes on. I, for example, am now thankful that I don't wear makeup, buy meat, or have an ice maker. I'm surprised that a keyboard isn't included in this list, because I touch that more than anything, and it rarely gets washed.

I got a job as a receptionist. My desk was situated right in the middle of heavy traffic in my office. It was pretty common that fellow employees would grab my phone to either "make a quick call" or intercept an incoming call. I started to get sick. I'd kick something and get sick with something else. As a slow learner it took me a few months to figure out everyone that used my phone had been breathing into the receiver leaving water droplets loaded with their germs. Well, the light bulb finally came on and I bought a spray can of heavy duty disinfectant. Stripped down the phone so I could spray it really well and refused to let others use my phone. At night just as I would leave for the day the phone got another dose of disinfectant and, sure enough, I stopped getting sick.
