>>2429200>Women are more likely to wash their hands after using the restroom, with 93% of women doing so compared to 77% of men.Men tend to have more bacteria on office surfaces like desks and chairs, possibly due to less frequent handwashing and teeth brushing.
However, women's restrooms are found to harbor twice as many potentially harmful germs as men's restrooms, likely due to higher traffic and the presence of children.
A study found that men clean toilet seats before and after use more frequently than women, and more men avoid touching surfaces they believe others have touched.
Men's armpits contain a higher bacterial load and secrete more substances that contribute to body odor.
Research indicates that women's hands can carry a greater variety of bacteria than men's, possibly due to differences in skin chemistry and product use.
In household chores, women are more likely to clean bathrooms and kitchens, while men are more likely to clean dishes immediately after use.
Psychological studies suggest that women are held to higher cleanliness standards, even when rooms are objectively tidy, leading to greater perceived pressure to maintain order.
Cultural norms, rather than biological differences, are cited as the primary reason for the disparity in cleaning responsibilities, with women often bearing the burden of domestic cleanliness.
