RESIDENTIAL

Even the tidiest houses host multitudes of unwanted guests. You can’t see the microscopic moochers, but your next sneeze, sniffle or full-fledged stomach flu might come courtesy of the bacteria and viruses growing by the billions on surfaces you touch every day.

Studies have shown that:

• kitchens are a safe haven for all types of germs and bacteria.
• The kitchen sink alone is 100,000 times more contaminated than a bathroom sink.
• The kitchen is prone to harbor e-Coli, Campylobacter, Salmonella and many other unwanted microbes.
• There are 2.5 million cells per square inch on your tooth brush holder and sink knobs.
• 26% of baths harbor a bacteria called staphylococci.
• Each time you flush a toilet an eight foot plume of bacteria is emitted onto the surrounding surfaces.
