Here are just a few examples: - Phone Cases: In a world where smart
phones are treated like an extra limb, it shouldn't be surprising
that they and the cases that protect them are covered in germs,
especially considering the heat that they generate which creates an
ideal environment for harmful microbes. Luckily, there's an easy
fix. Fill a water bottle with distilled water and 70% Isopropyl
Alcohol. Squirt this elixir onto a microfiber pad and you have
yourself a germ-fighting juice fit for a king. - Doorknobs: Public
restrooms have made great strides in eliminating germs from their
spaces, but one thing they haven't tackled is doorknobs - that
little round thing everyone who uses the bathroom uses on their way
out. While some places have adopted high-tech measures to combat
this issue like plastic-covered doorknobs that automatically filter
out after every use, there are other, simpler solutions, like
installing copper or brass doorknobs which naturally cut out germs
over time. - Notes and Coins: When you hear the phrase "dirty
money," your mind may immediately jump to drug deals or an
assassin's salary, but maybe you should take a more literal
approach to this phrase. Why? Because studies show they may be one
of the dirtiest objects in the world. Their lengthy circulation
multiplied by the number of people each bill comes in contact with
(single bills see more activity than larger ones) creates a recipe
for disaster. Thankfully, the cure for this issue has already been
introduced, albeit, for other reasons; with the nation's move
towards automation comes a growing preference for "cash-free"
lifestyles that favor credit cards and digital money apps over
physical bills. No money, no problems! - Bar Nuts: You know the
little bowls of almonds and cashews some places serve to keep you
occupied while you wait for your blind date or perpetually late
best friend? Well, they're filled with more than just healthy nuts
- they're also filled with germs contributed by every fingertip
that has entered the bowl. How do you combat this threat? Simple.
Don't eat them. They're not even that good. Just order an
appetiser. Those are just a sample of what this book has in store.
Listing the top 100 dirtiest items, and the top 100 solutions, this
pocket guide has everything you need to survive in a bacteria-laden
world. With graphic spot illustrations that will bring these germs
off the page (you know, in a good way), The Germaphobe's Handbook
makes a great gift for anyone who craves cleanliness.
