TV remotes are a major source of bacteria. A study published in the Journal of Infection Prevention found that they harbor bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pneumococcus, and Enterococcus faecalis, which can cause skin infections, pneumonia, abdominal pain, and urinary tract infections.
Hotel room remotes are particularly dirty. Clean your hotel remote before each use and regularly with a regular cloth or alcohol wipe.
While our homes are full of potential sources of harmful bacteria, a little vigilance and simple cleaning habits can significantly reduce this risk. Maintaining a healthy environment also means taking care of your well-being.
