Total number of germs on mukena is 788.4 colonies / cm ² on average, with a range between 44 colonies / cm ² up to 2561 colonies / cm ². The difference in number of germs on mukena showed that the highest number is from the frequency of usage 20 times to 40 times, which is 795 colonies / cm ². That is, the more often the mukena used, the higher the number of germs on mukena. So the number of germs on mukena is influenced by the frequency of usage.
