16 percent of cell phones have poop on them
Not everyone is as obsessive compulsive as most of our staff, but even the grimiest of people have to take pause at the idea that more than one in ten cell phones literally have fecal matter on them. Keyboards are 60 times more germ laden than an average toilet seat and that’s not because toilet seats are clean.
The infographic below from KeepingItKleen.com is absolutely disgusting, eye opening, and will have you in a frenzy to run away from your pooped on gadgets, or you might spend the afternoon in Costco buying Clorox wipes in bulk. Tell us in the comments if any of the statistics below surprised you or freaked you out (because we are definitely freaked out).
