The 6 Most Gag-Inducingly Dirty Spots in Your Bathroom — and What to Do About Them

Do you close your toilet lid when you flush? Flushing the toilet sends bacteria and microbes into the air, landing on any surface within several feet of your toilet. If your sink is in this radius, that's just adding to an already dirty part of your bathroom. Sinks are the most used and touched part of your bathroom, making them the most dirty.

From washing your hands to brushing your teeth to washing your face and everything in between, the bacteria can really build up. Make sure you pay special attention to cleaning the sink, and don't forget to wipe down the faucet and handles. Try keeping your sink dry by wiping it down fairly regularly, which will prevent even more bacteria from building up.
