6 Tips for A Germ-Free Kitchen
2

• The kitchen is the last place you want germs to
  be present, but unfortunately, its the one room
  in the home in which theyre most likely to be
  found. Even if you keep your kitchen clean and
  tidy, micro-organisms may still be present,
  especially as theyre invisible to the naked eye.
• To help keep your kitchen germ-free, try
  following these six tips
• De-clutter
• A clutter-free kitchen is so much easier to keep
  hygienically clean, and wherever possible, keep
  surfaces clear, with only your most frequently
  used items out on display (remembering to still
  clean them regularly, along with the surface
  under and around them).

• Clean up spillages and stains, pronto!
• It only takes a few minutes to wipe down your
  stove and surfaces after cooking, and while this
  helps to keep them hygienically clean, it will
  also prevent them from becoming sticky messes
  that require more than a little elbow grease to
  eliminate.
• Disinfect every surface
• Its really important not only to clean spillages
  and other kitchen messes quickly, but to
  disinfect the surfaces and stove regularly, too.
  In fact, pretty much every surface in your
  kitchen would benefit from regular disinfecting,
  since germs and bacteria can build up on any
  surface, and you should try to do this at least
  once a week to keep you and any other members of
  your household protected.

• Clean the sink
• Were often so happy that weve finished washing
  the huge pile of dishes that we dont even think
  about cleaning the sink afterwards, but dont
  forget that everything that came off of your
  pots, pans and plates could be lingering on the
  bottom and sides of your sink, and this can
  quickly become a breeding ground for germs and
  bacteria. Simply spray the sink down with a
  disinfectant solution after every dish washing
  session, and let it sit for up to half an hour
  before rinsing it down.

5

• Use clean dishtowels
• Often remaining damp for hours on end, dishtowels
  can harbor any number of harmful bacteria, so
  changing them frequently is essential if you want
  to stay healthy. If you have enough, change them
  every day, and try to have a separate towel for
  drying your hands on to prevent any
  cross-contamination.
• Wash your hands thoroughly with soap
• If the ongoing pandemic has taught us anything,
  its that we should all be washing our hands more
  often, and properly. Using soap and washing them
  under running water for 20 seconds is the correct
  way to eliminate bacteria build up, and of
  preventing any cases of foodborne illnesses in
  your household.

6

• While becoming obsessed with germs and hygiene
  isnt necessarily healthy, being mindful of them
  and practicing certain hygiene measures
  (especially in the kitchen), certainly is. To
  help keep germs at bay for longer, consider
  hiring a regular, professional cleaner to give
  your kitchen a deep clean as often as needed.
