A happy Wednesday to you all. Hope it'll go better than my Tuesday. boy a lot went wrong there. From being late to work to stubbing my toes multiple times, seems whatever could go wrong did go wrong for me. anyway, enjoy the list and fingers crossed my own wednesday, and yours, go well.
This list is from statistics published by the
Center for Disease Control. In order to compile the list, researchers visited 35 U.S. homes, swabbing for bacteria in 32 locations in each home. Once you have read this list – if you feel the urge to clean, the FDA recommends 1 teaspoon of chlorine bleach to 1 quart of water for home disinfecting. Get scrubbing!
