These common things that we encounter, sometimes on a daily basis, are some of the filthiest things that you can touch.
1. Your smartphone
Bacteria and viruses from skin, your respiratory tract and from fecal matter can be found on cell phones.
2. Kitchen sponge
Many microbiologists say it's the dirtiest household item.
3. Dish towels
They often have the same bacterial issues as sponges.

4. Bed sheets
You should wash them once a week.
5. Shopping carts
They're a breeding ground for E. coli.
Moral of the story? Wash your hands often.
