Bedroom carpets the dirtiest A shocking research has revealed that the average bedroom floor is ten times dirtier than a toilet seat. The data, compiled by sofa and carpet specialist ScS, found carpets in the bedroom also harbor more than double the bacteria found in a living room, and ten times that of a gym floor. Bedroom carpets were by far the dirtiest, with a combined bacteria and yeast level of 140 CFU per cm2 (colony forming units per cm2) uncovered within them, as well as heavy mould. Carpets can be a breeding ground for bacteria and dust mites, which can lead to health issues including breathing problems, eczema and other allergy symptoms. Experts recommend vacuuming at least twice a week and having carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year to avoid growing levels of bacteria, mould and yeast. 重点词汇: 1 、 bacteria 英 /bæk ˈ t ɪə ri ə / 美 /bæk ˈ t ɪ ri ə / n.
