MRSA can live up to 3 months on commonly used or touched surfaces/objects such as a telephone, a door knob, tap, railing or bath tub. Anything like this.
The host of the virus (person carrying it) may not no that they are infected, therefore are spreading it.
The only way that you can really catch it is if you touch the infected wound with a wound of your own.
The virus tends to live in bacteria ridden places, not places which are cleaned regularly.
If you have a weak immune system or have an illness of your own, it is advised that you avoid the virus.
