Items You Should Never Put on Your Bed

These five items are placed on beds the most often.

It’s easy to just throw things on your bed at the end of a hard day, but according to a new survey, many everyday items shouldn’t be touching your bed. Starting with your phone, which you touch close to a hundred times a day and can carry lots of germs. Next are worn clothes, for obvious reasons. Then, books or magazines, where the spines of hardcovers can harbor bed bugs. Another is backpacks, which are often left on the floor and collect dirt. And lastly, suitcases, which can pick up bed bugs while traveling.
