5 Hidden Germ Hotspots in Homes & Offices and How to Disinfect Them

When you think of cleaning, you probably focus on the obvious — floors, counters, and bathrooms. But some of the dirtiest areas in your home or office are the ones you touch the most — and often overlook. Germs thrive in these hidden spots, and without regular disinfection, they can easily spread illness and allergens.

Here are five germ hotspots you should never forget during your cleaning routine:

1. Light Switches and Door Handles

These small surfaces get touched dozens of times a day — by everyone. Use disinfectant wipes or sprays daily, especially in high-traffic areas. For offices, schedule routine sanitization to keep common areas safe.

2. Remote Controls and Keyboards

Whether it’s in a conference room or living room, remotes and keyboards harbor bacteria from multiple users. Unplug devices (if needed) and gently clean with a microfiber cloth and disinfectant wipes weekly.

3. Kitchen Sponges and Sinks

Sponges can trap bacteria fast. Replace them weekly or microwave them for 1–2 minutes to kill germs. Don’t forget to disinfect your sink after washing dishes — it’s one of the dirtiest places in your home.

4. Phones and Tablets

Our tech devices travel everywhere with us. Wipe them down daily with screen-safe disinfectant wipes or a mix of alcohol and water (70%).

5. Office Desks and Chair Armrests

Desks can host thousands of bacteria, especially when you eat or work all day at your workstation. Disinfect these surfaces daily and include them in your office’s regular cleaning checklist.

Regular disinfection of these often-overlooked areas can drastically reduce germs, improve hygiene, and protect your health at home or work.
