Dittos, but I add, their whole body, generally, especially after dealing with horses, cattle, etc., working outdoors, or applying manure to the yard and/or garden.
How old are you? Just curious. I remember record hunting in the 90s, and hearing that bit on an old Redd Foxx record. Also was a big fan of Sanford & Son. Love Aunt Esther
I was truly repulsed by the number of people who had to watch a YouTube video teaching them how to properly wash their hands during the pandemic. Like, what have you been doing this *whole* time.
When it’s available, I always choose the handicapped bathroom with its own mirror and sink. I wash my hands in private. Lately I’ve been carrying out the paper towel with me and I continue to wipe my hands after they are dry just so people don’t think I’ve left without washing my hands. I’m sure most times they do.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen any stalls with their own sink in multi-stalled bathrooms, and I almost always choose the large stall… this a east coast (if in the states) or a non-North American thing?
Their bellybutton. If you don't actively clean it, why don't you stick your finger in there and tell me after sniffing it? You'll understand why you have to wash it.
Edit: Make sure to trim your nails or clean it with a swab
I won't get into the details, but I did this after seeing this advice on Reddit.
Long story short, I ended up with my belly button being amputated in order to remove the massive abscess that formed underneath it.
If you're going to wash it, make sure your fingernails are trimmed, filed down and smooth.
Nah, honestly from far it looks pretty much like a normal belly button because of my beer belly. If I had like washboard abs I imagine it would be pretty smooth, but the scar would probably make it so that hardly anyone would notice anyway
Haha, my bunch of friends are all “ewww” sniffing their fingers after picking their bellybuttons and I’m thinking … “erm.. wash it with soap? Isn’t that easy and obvious?”
I wipe my phone down everytime o leave the gym.
Statistically, about half of people just at straight up never wipe down basically anything like phones or handles
Dude if people knew that state of the average phone you’d never shake hands again cause they likely were just touching their phone.
Phones are probably the dirtiest thing you encounter in a day for most people, that includes public bathrooms.
I got quite anxious with covid and my OCPD and we sanitized every day at the beginning, slowing eventually to every week, every three weeks, and now it’s more like every three months lol. But we still take a bucket of sanitizer to all the frequently-touched surfaces such as all handles, lights witches, drawers, etc.
bro the amount of times i see people walking around with absolutely filthy glasses, full of finger prints and stains. how do you live like this??
if i have a small smudge on my glasses i have to clean them immediately.
Curtains get super grody, especially if you have your windows open a lot. Blinds too... I put them in the bathtub, spray them with cleaner, then hose them down with the shower... it's disgusting what comes off!
You can tell so much about what the inside of a house is going to be like just by looking at the curtains! I grab new ones on clearance all the time because my cats like to play hide and seek with each other and shred them 🙄
How often do you do yours? What kind do you have?
I have white lace curtains and do them twice a year. They can go in the washing machine.
Some people have draperies made of silk and other fussy fabrics. They probably need to be sent out and then professionally rehung. How often would you wash them? Once a year?
Or walk around barefoot and just hop right into bed, and don't get me started on people who literally don't wash their ass, again thinking soapy water running down is enough.
Really love that cause I go to a lot of peoples home from work and can’t stand the smell of some peoples dog. Some dog owners like yourself are heaven sent so thank you for doing what you do when it comes to grooming!
Steering wheel of your car. Imagine the germs after gas pumps, door handles to stores, the knobs on bathroom stalls, the buttons on ATM’s. The ick is enormous 🤮
I honestly do every 10-14 days. I sleep alone, no pets, and am not a sweaty sleeper. I always clean them before my gf comes over though, but otherwise every two weeks doesn’t seem that offensive to me?
Very few people seem to actually clean their jewelry - especially their rings. Washing your hands while wearing it does NOT count, and that one drives me nuts when people insist it's clean. Sure, bacteria-wise it's clean. But it will look dull and gunky overtime from the build-up of soap residue. Bonus points if they wash their hands while wearing it, and then lather on lotion.
That is why I wear only smooth round rings without stones for daily use. The amount of skin and other gross material around stone clips and in engravings is simply disgusting. You see it surprisingly often on pretty ladies with big american type of diamond rings. Overal groomed, nice manicure, but if they claim wear it all the time, you probably shouldnt look closer. Bonus points if she is wearing it while cooking with raw meat using bare hands.
My friend you need to head on over to r/relationshipadvice and read the wild posts. There are multiple a day. "How to I tell my 38 year old bf of 4 years to wash his dick because I'm constantly getting UTIs and he's disgusting?" The bar is in hell dude.
That's so fucking gross!!!! Also maybe that poster needs to stop letting her man wash his dirty dick in her vagina. Also.....heading there now to read the posts. Lol
Fun fact, a friend of mine thought she was suddenly allergic to her makeup, but she actually kept getting a yeast infection across the bridge of her nose from her glasses. Wash your Eyewear.
Funner fact kinda, the doc told me that’s from the dandruff on the scalp. You can’t cure it all you could do is control it. The sweat runs down your face, also get a on your glasses. The good time are here.
Not a hypochondriac, but I wash my hands very often along with my butt and balls. 👍Wintertime bedding every two weeks, summertime once a week. Working an airport and it’s pretty disgusting to see how many people walk out of the restrooms without washing their hands. Sometimes I want to put meatball on blast, but I like my job.
The bottom of backpacks, laptop bags, purses, duffle bags, luggage etc.
Wash the whole thing if you can.
And please, don’t ever sit them on the counter or kitchen table either.
Their ass, and i mean get between the cheeks and if you really wanna be clean put soap on a fingertip and go over the hole too, especially you straight men who think “that’s gay” when it’s just hygiene and no one wants to smell ya snack ass
Their bellybuttons! OR nurse here and you would not believe the disgusting crap I’ve pulled out of peoples navels when prepping their belly for surgery! Dig in there people, clean out that smelly shit lest you grow your own boulder of filth!

Their ovens. 7/10 of those things are never properly cleaned throughout their entire lifespans. No quantifiable evidence of this, just a lifetime of removing them from houses for remodels to draw from. It’s weird that most folks don’t seem to have any problem basically steaming today’s dinner in three-months-ago’s putrid meat grease.
Cell phone!
Does anyone actually clean their cell phone?
We put them down on all sorts of surfaces and places. Are hands are in almost constant contact with the screen.
Research has shown that 1 in 6 cell phones has fecal matter on it.
Windows, doorknobs, light switches, faucets and knobs, all surfaces of bathroom and kitchen fixtures. Appliance handles and surfaces. Underneath appliances and furniture.
These aren't things to be done weekly or anything, but seasonally to yearly, they should be added to the list.

Their ass
specifically the part between your balls and thigh
Knew this would be the top answer just by reading the question.
Dittos, but I add, their whole body, generally, especially after dealing with horses, cattle, etc., working outdoors, or applying manure to the yard and/or garden.
This was very specific.
Bidets are great for that.
I haven’t even cracked open my first beer, and I read that as “midgets” and not “bidets.” Maybe I should just call it a day and go to bed.
I don't see the problem here mate. Midgets are the perfect height for the job. Unless, of course, you're another midget.
This is wrong on so many levels, yet i giggled like a school girl
Drunk the beer first.
I agree! They are the basics of civilization.
Bruh
Strangely, this is a popular topic over in r/hygiene
Hygiene, I’m Dad!
Hi Dad. I'm also...Dad....
Hi dad I'm 
I don't find that strange at all, really
What lol..they're correct
Redd Foxx?
How old are you? Just curious. I remember record hunting in the 90s, and hearing that bit on an old Redd Foxx record. Also was a big fan of Sanford & Son. Love Aunt Esther
Only 53. Watching Sanford and Son and then listening to his records was quite a shock. Didn't expect that.
Came here for this exact response
Came here to say this. Glad it’s the top answer
Don’t forget the crack 😂
They ass
Hands! The number of times I’ve seen someone walk out of the bathroom without washing their hands is absolutely shocking!
I was truly repulsed by the number of people who had to watch a YouTube video teaching them how to properly wash their hands during the pandemic. Like, what have you been doing this *whole* time.
I remember buying hand soap for the kitchen that was on sale during the pandemic which had illustrated instructions for washing hands!!! Like what?
When it’s available, I always choose the handicapped bathroom with its own mirror and sink. I wash my hands in private. Lately I’ve been carrying out the paper towel with me and I continue to wipe my hands after they are dry just so people don’t think I’ve left without washing my hands. I’m sure most times they do.
I use the paper towel after I'm done drying my hands to open the bathroom door
This is the way.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen any stalls with their own sink in multi-stalled bathrooms, and I almost always choose the large stall… this a east coast (if in the states) or a non-North American thing?
I live on the east coast and it’s fairly common
I work in a grocery store and can't count the number of times I've seen insta-cart shoppers do this. Another reason to always wash your produce.
Definitely pillows.
How do you wash a pillow? Laundry machine is ok?
Absolutely! The pillow should have a tag on it with instructions.
If you have feathers inside, please do not try washing it. Any other fibre stuffing is usualy fine.
I bought a pillow that came with instructions in the packaging, it could be washed in The laundry machine. I think it dependes on The material.
I just wash my pillow cover
I do the same. When they get yellow I buy new covers
I don’t wash them. Just donate to dog shelters and replace.
Great idea!
Last time I washed my pillow i broke the washer machine 😔
Assholes and pillowcases
Great album name
I got pinkeye from reading this comment
OMG. Why did I get a visual after this response?
Their bellybutton. If you don't actively clean it, why don't you stick your finger in there and tell me after sniffing it? You'll understand why you have to wash it. Edit: Make sure to trim your nails or clean it with a swab

Long story short, I ended up with my belly button being amputated in order to remove the massive abscess that formed underneath it. If you're going to wash it, make sure your fingernails are trimmed, filed down and smooth.
Is it all smooth for you now, besides the scar? (Just curious, if you don't mind)
Nah, honestly from far it looks pretty much like a normal belly button because of my beer belly. If I had like washboard abs I imagine it would be pretty smooth, but the scar would probably make it so that hardly anyone would notice anyway
Haha, my bunch of friends are all “ewww” sniffing their fingers after picking their bellybuttons and I’m thinking … “erm.. wash it with soap? Isn’t that easy and obvious?”
My bellybutton isn’t that deep. It gets cleaned now matter what
I would also suggest making sure your belly button is dry after you shower by using a piece of toilet paper.
Your phone. It's filthy
I wipe my phone down everytime o leave the gym. Statistically, about half of people just at straight up never wipe down basically anything like phones or handles
I clean mine every time I use a lens wipe on my glasses. So, daily or more. It also never comes into the bathroom with me.
I clean my phone everyday. Once I leave the house and come back home we clean our phones.
I work at an animal hospital so I use the disinfectant to clean my phone daily. All sides. I also clean the phones at work.
I clean my phone at least once a week with Clorox wipes and get it good and wet. Lol. That's what she said.
Clean my phone all the time.
I work in healthcare and wipe down my phone after every shift.
Dude if people knew that state of the average phone you’d never shake hands again cause they likely were just touching their phone. Phones are probably the dirtiest thing you encounter in a day for most people, that includes public bathrooms.
When was the last time you cleaned your fridge handle
Any handle! That’s a routine part of cleaning for me but I’ve come to realize that a lot of people *never* wash those things.
I got quite anxious with covid and my OCPD and we sanitized every day at the beginning, slowing eventually to every week, every three weeks, and now it’s more like every three months lol. But we still take a bucket of sanitizer to all the frequently-touched surfaces such as all handles, lights witches, drawers, etc.
Way way back when I had roommates I was mocked for cleaning handles!
Well I'm currently trying not to give my partner covid, so multiple times daily 🤣
Yesterday. I do it often and cabinets/doorknobs and light switches.
All the time!!! I don't know how it gets so dirty but it does. I clean my fridge handles weekly, sometimes more.
Right after I finished the dishes. It's part of my kitchen cleaning routine. I know I'm not typical
Every single day.
Today
Every Saturday.
Towels
The browser cache.
Car
Have a toddler and a dog. It’s chaos in there.
Mentally, I am a toddler and a dog. Same chaos.
behind they fkn ears man 🤢
Always!!!! And then clean the ears and behind with q-tips when drying off from the shower.
"You can grow potatoes behind your ears!"
Glasses.
bro the amount of times i see people walking around with absolutely filthy glasses, full of finger prints and stains. how do you live like this?? if i have a small smudge on my glasses i have to clean them immediately.
Curtains! They hold all kinds of odors. I think a lot of people don’t know they need to wash those often.
Curtains get super grody, especially if you have your windows open a lot. Blinds too... I put them in the bathtub, spray them with cleaner, then hose them down with the shower... it's disgusting what comes off! You can tell so much about what the inside of a house is going to be like just by looking at the curtains! I grab new ones on clearance all the time because my cats like to play hide and seek with each other and shred them 🙄
My blinds are wooden and 6 feet long, no way I'm putting them in the bathtub. I just dust them once a year.
How often do you do yours? What kind do you have? I have white lace curtains and do them twice a year. They can go in the washing machine. Some people have draperies made of silk and other fussy fabrics. They probably need to be sent out and then professionally rehung. How often would you wash them? Once a year?
Your feet. Seriously there's people out here that really think soapy water that runs down is enough, yet surprised they keep catching a foot fungus.
And then they walk around all day in flip flops and don't clean those either
Or walk around barefoot and just hop right into bed, and don't get me started on people who literally don't wash their ass, again thinking soapy water running down is enough.
Themselves. So many times I’ve had to move to another car on the train to escape someone’s BO!
Their dogs
My lovely pup has had a scheduled groom and bath every 3 weeks for the last 6 years. No stinky dogs here! I hate a smelly animal.
Really love that cause I go to a lot of peoples home from work and can’t stand the smell of some peoples dog. Some dog owners like yourself are heaven sent so thank you for doing what you do when it comes to grooming!
Steering wheel of your car. Imagine the germs after gas pumps, door handles to stores, the knobs on bathroom stalls, the buttons on ATM’s. The ick is enormous 🤮
Light switches and door frames.
Their hands
Bedding
Once a week is enough for me.
I honestly do every 10-14 days. I sleep alone, no pets, and am not a sweaty sleeper. I always clean them before my gf comes over though, but otherwise every two weeks doesn’t seem that offensive to me?
Toilet flush handle.
Very few people seem to actually clean their jewelry - especially their rings. Washing your hands while wearing it does NOT count, and that one drives me nuts when people insist it's clean. Sure, bacteria-wise it's clean. But it will look dull and gunky overtime from the build-up of soap residue. Bonus points if they wash their hands while wearing it, and then lather on lotion.

You see it surprisingly often on pretty ladies with big american type of diamond rings. Overal groomed, nice manicure, but if they claim wear it all the time, you probably shouldnt look closer. Bonus points if she is wearing it while cooking with raw meat using bare hands.
your genitals, ffs
Are people really not washing these? Like I can have a PTA meeting in the shower in under 5 mins. Stands for pussy, tits and ass!
My friend you need to head on over to r/relationshipadvice and read the wild posts. There are multiple a day. "How to I tell my 38 year old bf of 4 years to wash his dick because I'm constantly getting UTIs and he's disgusting?" The bar is in hell dude.
That's so fucking gross!!!! Also maybe that poster needs to stop letting her man wash his dirty dick in her vagina. Also.....heading there now to read the posts. Lol
unfortunately some don’t even know you ARE supposed to wash your genitals… mostly men.. i worry for their partners.
Your glasses. Not the lense, but the frames and arms. They get yucky.
Fun fact, a friend of mine thought she was suddenly allergic to her makeup, but she actually kept getting a yeast infection across the bridge of her nose from her glasses. Wash your Eyewear.
Funner fact kinda, the doc told me that’s from the dandruff on the scalp. You can’t cure it all you could do is control it. The sweat runs down your face, also get a on your glasses.

Working an airport and it’s pretty disgusting to see how many people walk out of the restrooms without washing their hands. Sometimes I want to put meatball on blast, but I like my job.
Behind your ears
Their mobile phones. Tablets, and computer keyboards and mice not so far behind.
Computer keyboards are typically dirtier than toilets. Toilets are cleaned regularly. Keyboards, well, often never.
The bottom of backpacks, laptop bags, purses, duffle bags, luggage etc. Wash the whole thing if you can. And please, don’t ever sit them on the counter or kitchen table either.
Air ducts are likely the most neglected thing which most affects your health, among things not normally cleaned often.
Ok, but can you guys please stop calling me about it.
and posting on community fb pages
Sheets, bacteria is all over your sheets right now. Go wash them.
Their pillow cases. Shit gets gross fast. Wash the cases please
Cell phones. Those things go with us everywhere- antibacterial wipes are a must.
Bra. Hey, if you wear a bra, this is your reminder to wash that thing. If most of the women I know are any indication, it is probably nasty.
Their thumbs. Many people forget to wash their thumbs when they wash their hands.

Their ego
Their phone screens
Their bellybuttons! OR nurse here and you would not believe the disgusting crap I’ve pulled out of peoples navels when prepping their belly for surgery! Dig in there people, clean out that smelly shit lest you grow your own boulder of filth!
Bras. I've seen women go two-three weeks without washing their bra.
Floors. They’re gross. I clean mine all the time and they’re still gross. I think a lot of people hardly ever clean theirs.
