The DIRTIEST spot in your bathroom

What’s the dirtiest thing in your bathroom?

NOT what you might think!

It’s not the toilet…or the sink…or the hamper…it’s your towel rack, according to StudyFinds.

The problem is two-fold:  Towel racks are rarely cleaned when people scrub their bathroom even though damp towels are an ideal breeding ground for harmful microorganisms and bacteria.

Also towel racks attract dust, grime, mold, and mildew which can lead to irritated skin and even illnesses.

So how often should you clean them?

About three times a month…oh…and wash that towel while you’re at it!
