Car lovers, it’s time to talk about a problem. Whether you care more about your car’s health or your own health, this is important to pay attention to.

We’re not saying this to be mean, but your steering wheel is really, really dirty. Yes, you, and no, it doesn’t matter if you cleaned it last month or even last week. It’s now covered in bacteria again – more than four times as much as a toilet seat, in fact. And honestly, we know that you most likely did not, because a recent study came out saying that only 32% of people clean the inside of their cars – and only once a year, at that. But good news: this is an easy problem to solve.

Before excusing yourself from this problem under the assumption that this problem can be avoided by not eating in the car, sit tight. It actually doesn’t make that much of a difference. Food only attributes to a fraction of the germs. Not to mention, even if you aren’t actively eating, you ARE carrying particles of food into the car on your shoes, hands, and clothes. It’s everywhere.

Why is this such a big deal? Because after touching these germ-infested surfaces, you often touch vulnerable parts of your body. Driving uses many areas of the brain, and as a result, we all make subconscious movements with our hands that we don’t notice – like wiping our eyes or scratching our beards. So…how dirty is really dirty?

Scientists say that the inside of a car is actually quite similar to a garbage can. They’re not being dramatic: studies found an average of around 700 colony-forming bacteria across the steering wheel’s surface alone. The fact that your car spends so much time sealed off makes it germ-breeding heaven – including some which cause food poisoning. The real enemy? That pump handle you grip onto anytime you fuel up on gas, before your hands reach once more for your steering wheel.

But really, it’s not difficult to fight off these bacteria. Use sanitizing wipes to regularly wipe down your steering wheel, handles, gearshift, knobs, and car keys. Clean and replace those floor mats you’ve tracked who-knows-what onto as often as possible. And if you want to go the extra mile, a little bit of disinfectant in your air filter’s vent will help prevent germ breeding.

Anything you can do at home to save money is always nice. This includes things like shaping your eyebrows and making sure any unwanted facial hair is gone. In order to quickly remove hair, many people use a touch-up facial and eyebrow razor like this one.

You will look fabulous for sure, but the clean-up might be disgusting for some. After all, who wants to have to touch body hair like this? We know we don’t!

Sometimes, damage to the fibers of the fabric causes small pills or balls to appear on your clothing. This is not attractive or professional. But it takes so long to go through and pluck each one. Unless, of course, you buy this battery-operated shaver.

Looking at the container that captures the shaving, though, maybe a little much for some once you are done. Though it is not nausea-inducing, it definitely is troubling.

If you don’t have a lot of space available, you might not want to invest in a big pet hair removal product, so this mini model that can easily be thrown in a drawer might be more your speed. That is, until you see what you will be left picking up.

Not only is it gross, but it might have you wondering how your pet can manage to shed that much fur and not be naked!

Some people out there just cannot function if they don’t have their coffee in the morning. But after continual use, that coffee maker will need to be cleaned thoroughly. For those using a Keurig coffee machine, there are actually pods that can help you with this.

But be warned, you might not like what comes out of that coffee maker. In fact, you might find it a little disturbing to see just how dirty your machine is!

For some women (and men), there is nothing like having silky smooth legs. This is especially true when it comes to those summer months when you tend to wear more revealing clothes. So finding an easy-to-use wax at-home kit like this one is nice.

That is until you remove the wax and realize what exactly you had been neglecting. The hair left behind on the strip is not very appealing to look at, to say the least.

When your kid is sick or just has a bit of blockage in their nose, you can use the NoseFrida nose aspirator to help you get rid of it. Because it looks very similar to a turkey-baster, you will have to look at whatever you pull out.

That might be crossing the line for some, especially if they have a weak stomach. We have to say that we are not loving this booger-sucking gadget.. or what is left in it after using it!

After some use, your hairbrush can begin to gather dirt, grime, and lint at the base of the bristles. This can be pretty disgusting, so investing in a hairbrush cleaning tool might strike some as a good idea.

But just like the grossness of the brush itself, the clean-up is not going to be pretty. As disgusting as this residue is, it’s probably comforting to know that it’s not going on your scalp!

Making sure your makeup brushes and tools are sanitized is important. Not only do clean brushes do a better job, but they also prevent breakouts. It can be time-consuming to clean all of your brushes unless you find a product like this makeup brush cleaning mat.

But as you push your dirty makeup brush into the mat, you may be a bit shocked at what you see. You might be grossed out to see just how much makeup and gunk is trapped in the bristles of your makeup brushes!

Our skin is constantly shedding skin cells. Sometimes, however, we are still left with dry skin which requires manual exfoliation of our skin. This can be hard, so some have invested in an exfoliation mitt.

It does the trick, but then you have to look at all that dry skin which is not very appealing to do. While it can be slightly off-putting, it’s just one step in the battle against dull and dry skin.

If you want your dryer to work properly, you need to keep your vents clear of debris. After a time, vents can become full of lint and other debris. So investing in a vent cleaning system will not only make your life more comfortable, but it will help your dryer work more effectively.

We all shed hair every day from various parts of our bodies. This hair sometimes finds its way into our plumbing system and causes clogs to happen. Thankfully, you can buy this FlexiSnake and use it to help clear the clog easily.

Flies can be a nuisance. Thankfully, there are many products designed to help you get rid of them. But if you don’t want to take the chance of touching their little fly bodies, this disposable fly trap in a bag form might be right up your alley.

There are so many products designed to help you with those clogged drains. That includes this little tool. It is placed in your drain, and it collects all the hair that goes down the drain.

Many people love to adorn their houses with plants. But just because they are inside doesn’t mean that these plants won’t suffer from attacks by insects. Trying to ensure they live longer than a few weeks means employing some help like these household insect traps.

Blackheads are a skin issue that many people suffer from. In an effort to achieve a better complexion, many people use several products to get rid of them like these blackhead removal strips.
