Especially we can see in many public washrooms they seem are a bit scary, largely because they are usually observed to be unhygienic places, although they may look clean and tidy. And of course, there can be plenty of bugs lying in wait in public restrooms - on an average, you'll find about 50 bacteria per square inch on a toilet seat.

Maybe, the thought of how many people have sat on the same toilet seat, and how many of them have forgotten to wash their hands on the way out makes many people shudder. While maximum people would think that the toilet seat is the most contaminated spot filled with bacteria and mould, turns out the germiest area in restrooms is always the floor. 

This proves that bacteria don't always flourish in the places we would expect, in fact, they can be found in the areas you considered to be one of the cleanest.
