Cleaning would be more rewarding if germs were visible, or you could hear them

Kills 99.9% of germs etc. I want visual or sound proof of those little blighters being zapped when I pour bleach over them.

What door handles etc? Yeah I suppose you are right.

Germs would evolve to avoid providing the proof you want. Then you'd need a different proof, and they'd evolve again. And so on.

Better we evolve ( as we do, actually) to be able to tolerate germs.

Hearing germs would be freaky as !!

That's what dirt is for, tbh.

The answer is only clean things if they’re visibly dirty and just think of the germs as friendly co-inhabitants of your home 😁

Friendly co-inhabitants? They don't pay rent.
