The new findings demonstrate how not cleaning remotes and phones can spread germs everywhere

Three in 10 Brits have never disinfected their TV remote despite the average family of four touching it more than 21,000 times a year. Almost two-thirds of Brits who take their phone to the toilet don’t clean it and almost half of Brits admit to being unaware of how sharing household items from remotes to games console controllers can spread germs.

Nearly half of Brits confess to never thinking about how germs spread between people sharing household items, with almost seven in 10 saying they would be more inclined to disinfect items in their homes if they could physically see germs or bacteria. The collection, including a TV remote control, games console controller and mobile phone case, is based on the everyday items commonly shared as part of normal family life.

While the copper items are not available to buy, two-thirds of people think it would be a good idea to create copper items to help stop the spread of germs in their home – and, in fact, 38% would be likely to buy them, even if they cost more.
