Your Smart Home Devices Are Probably Filthy

Friendly reminder to sanitize your smart devices... Look, we don't like to think of all the bacteria and germs that are on things we touch daily, but thanks to a new study we now know just how gross these things around the house are.

In the study, swab tests were done on things around the house like: a smart thermostat, remote, control panel tablet, security camera and doorbell.

These were the results:

  • The control panel had five times more germs than bacteria in a pet food bowl.
  • The smart remote had 12 times more bacteria than a toothbrush holder.
  • The doorbell had seven times more colony-forming units (CFUs) than a bathroom sink faucet handle.
  • Even the camera had four times more bacteria than a toilet flush handle.
  • But the worst of all was the smart thermostat. It was found to have the most bacteria of all items tested, with 32.5-million CFUs. That's three times more bacteria than the kitchen sink.
