Mine shouldn’t since I clean that thing regularly with antibacterial cleaners. Unless it’s that 0.1% of germs not annihilated by the cleaner… 🤔 Shit where’s the 100% cleaner?
Don’t use antibacterial cleaners for general cleaning. Especially not hand soap. All you’re doing is breeding a master race of resistant bacteria in your home.
Yes. Use plain non-antibacterial soap. Or bleach if you want something stronger.
