4. The Equipment at the gym
People know how to stay healthy – eat healthy food, stay hydrated, and exercise. If you choose to exercise at the gym, however, you need to be aware that you are not the only one there, sweating, touching the machines, breathing on them. Weights can have 362 times more germs when compared to your toilet seat. And people still wonder why hygiene is important.
5. The ATM buttons
Some people say that the dirtiest thing in the world is money, and they might be right, but the machines that give us money are quite dirty as well. The buttons, the touch screen, and the money that comes off the machine – every single thing is dirty. Make sure to disinfect your hands after you are done.

6. Handles on public transportation
For many of us, public transportation is the only way to move from point A to point B, which means there are thousands of people riding the same bus or the same subway carriage every single day. Obviously, they have people to clean them, but they aren’t there 24/7, so there is still a certain risk.
7. Public entrances and doors
You go to the mall, you touch random doors, you go to the hospital, you touch random doors, you go to school or work, you touch random doors – you get it, right?! Just like you, thousands of people touch those random doors, so even though germs are invisible to the naked eye, those surfaces are crawling with them.
8. Car doorknobs on public cars
Taxis are still popular, but since we started having the option to call a car to pick us up using our phone, we began Ubering everywhere (or using any other platforms). The point is: many people touch the doorknobs on those cars, and you have no idea where their hands have been. Keep a little hand sanitizer with you at all times and disinfect your hands.

9. Ticketing Machines
Those machines where you get a ticket to park your car? Dirty. The machines where you buy a ticket to ride the subway? Dirty. Everything that is used by a huge number of people is dirty. You need to touch it, that’s fine, but look after yourself and maintain proper hygiene at all times – your health is everything.
