I know this is something most of us probably don’t want to think about, but have you ever wondered which areas are the germiest spots in your kitchen? Well, recently a study by NSF International (The Public Health and Safety Company) revealed that kitchen germs are actually hiding in some pretty unlikely places. The group studied 20 family kitchens and the results were pretty surprising – take a look at the list below!
