Research states that every square inches has approximately 50 types of bacteria
on a toilet seat, a chopping board has 3 times the number of a toilet seat, a
cloth has 6 thousands types of bacteria every square inches, a kitchen basin
has 3 times the number of a toilet seat, but this isn’t as scary as you think.
