TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — It’s that time of year. You’re having holiday parties. Friends, family are coming over and staying with you. You prepare by cleaning up around the house. You think you’re good, but wait until you see some of the nastiest, germ-ridden places inside your house.
The first place right at the front door.
“So you’re doorknobs basically get touched by every single person that goes in and out of the home. What your’re going to want to do is at least wipe them down with an antibacterial, either a spray or a wipe,” says Kate Henley with Two Maids and a Mop.
Don’t forget the doorknobs around your house especially leading into the bathroom. Including the handle to that porcelain throne!
“Which was the most disgusting to you,” we ask homeowner Sally Monceaux.
“The remote. Cause that’s an everyday thing we use,” she says.

For the past three years, Collins, a custodian, has been collecting and distributing clothes, school supplies, even food for the school's homeless students.
"These are our babies," Collins said. "They just want to learn. I just want to take care of them. Some of them sleeping in cars, some in hotels."
Collins said she was called to care for the kids while she was on her early shift three years ago. The students, she said, were dropped off early and hungry with no where to go.
But it's the loss of her son, killed during a home invasion, that also motivates her mission.

The operator of a janitorial service that cleaned the Alamodome has been convicted in an invoice scam that led to more than $500,000 in overcharges.
Federal investigators say 54-year-old Geoffrey Comstock was convicted Wednesday in San Antonio of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and six counts of wire fraud.
The case involves the Alamodome, a multipurpose domed sports and special events facility operated by the city of San Antonio.
Authorities say Comstock owns the Frio Nevado Corp. and had an Alamodome janitorial contract from 2002 to 2016. Investigators say bogus invoices, submitted since mid-2014, were paid by the city.
Comstock faces up to 20 years in federal prison on each count.
