Hint: It’s not your trash can. It’s not your sink. And we’re willing to bet you haven’t cleaned it in months...
We surveyed local Colorado residents and professional cleaners. Here are the top 5 spots in the kitchen that are silently disgusting — and guests notice them more than you think:
- 1. Under the Refrigerator — Pet hair, old crumbs, spilled coffee… it’s a bacteria party under there.
- 2. Cabinet Handles — Greasy fingers, meat juice, and never cleaned.
- 3. The Trash Can Lid Rim — You wipe inside… but what about the part under the lid?
- 4. Dishwasher Seals — Slimy, moldy rubber that’s supposed to clean your dishes. Ironic, right?
- 5. Reusable Grocery Bags — Everyone has them. No one washes them. 🤢

How to Clean the Top Offenders
- Fridge Underside: Use vacuum hose + a long duster. Pull it forward and wipe the floor monthly.
- Trash Can Rim: Spray with antibacterial solution weekly. Scrub with a toothbrush.
- Dishwasher Seal: Wipe with vinegar and baking soda paste once a month.
