Toilet bowls are pretty disgusting… I don’t think I need to explain why. When you think about what goes on in or around a toilet bowl, you would probably think that a toilet would be one of the dirtiest things you could touch. But, um, you’d be wrong – very, very wrong.
Unfortunately, there are a good amount of everyday items out there that are dirtier than a toilet – I’m talking stuff you use all day, every day. And when you consider that you probably don’t wash your hands after you touch every single one of these things, that sounds pretty icky. Check out 8 things that are dirtier than a toilet – and sorry in advance for freaking you out.
Your Handbag
A new study has proven that your handbag accumulates more bacteria than your average toilet seat. That's probably because you throw it on the floor no matter where you are... admit it. Source: ShutterStockYour Cell Phone
Yup, that thing that you touch every other minute and constantly put against your cheek holds a TON of bacteria. Like, a lot. Gross. Source: ShutterStockIce Cubes

You touch your keyboard every single day, but have you ever thought about how it could maybe be making you sick? Probably not. One expert says that keyboards have 5 times more germs than toilets. Gross! Source: ShutterStockA Remote Control

This one might seem pretty obvious, but still. It's tough to stop yourself from touching a door handle. It's also tough to remember to clean your hands every time after you touch one. Source: ShutterStockThe Kitchen Sink
You would think a sink, where things go to get clean, would be relatively free of bacteria, right? Nope. This report says they're dirtier than your entire bathroom. Source: ShutterStockThe Kitchen Counter
