Do you really know what's growing inside your kitchen sink?
Germs are all around us, but to varying degrees...
We go about our day to day not really knowing what germs and bacteria surround us.
And, somehow, we think that may be a better way of living than if we went around testing surfaces inside a petri dish.
But one TikTok page dedicates its content to delve into what is growing around us.
The page is called 'What Might Grow' and the video that grabbed our attention had to do with testing how clean our kitchen sinks are...
WATCH what happens when the kitchen sink is tested for bacteria growth.

The irony in it all is him saying that cleaning with dish soap and hot water was considerably better in comparison...
His motivation behind testing the kitchen sink came after seeing a video of a person doing food prep with pasta inside a kitchen sink.
Now, as much as we are not about to go and check what's growing in our sink under a microscope, we do pride ourselves on cleanliness.
And prepping food directly inside the kitchen sink is a no-no for us.
