A new study listing the household items that are the most contaminated has found that the hand-held games controllers have five times more bacteria than a toilet seat.
The study was conducted by researchers at Domestos and UNICEF who swabbed some of the everyday items found in most houses. They found that the hand-held controllers contained an average of 7,863 germs per 100 square centimeters compared to a toilet seat that contained around 1,600 germs over the same area.
Trampoline was found to be the dirtiest household item with more than 640,000 germs in every 100 square centimeters while chair and sofa arms contained 19,200 germs over the same area and the fridge handle was found to harbor over 7,474 bacteria over the same measure.
