Everyone knows that public toilets are teeming with all sorts of germs. But surely it’s possible to keep them under control in your own bathroom, isn’t it? The simple answer is that they are probably also thriving there too. The reason for this is frequently that when you clean your bathroom you tend to concentrate on the toilet bowl, the washbasin and the bathtub. But there’s no need to panic. After all, a completely germ-free home is neither possible nor necessary. In a private bathroom, simple hygiene can keep these unwanted co-inhabitants at bay.
