The Staphylococcus bacteria, or Staph, can survive for as little as a few hours to as long as many months! Hard surfaces that are cleaned are less likely to harbor bacteria, but porous surfaces like towels and sponges are perfect breeding grounds for bacteria. Humidity is also a factor, if it's lower then 10% then bacteria will not be able to survive on a dry surface for long. It's important to keep areas clean because any kind of nutrient (food crumbs, skin cells, droplets from a sneeze) helps them live. Wednesday, February 01 2012.
