Cleaning the Kitchen Sink

Keep kitchen faucet handles clean, as bacteria grow anywhere that dampness is present. Frequently wash faucets with soap and hot water. Rinse and allow to air dry.

Kitchen Sponges

Prevent spreading food borne pathogens in your kitchen by tossing out sponges as they could be harboring tens of millions of disease causing bacteria. A wet sponge is even worse as bacteria can thrive for up to two weeks in moisture.

Cleaning Can Openers

Clean the blade of either a hand cranked or electric can opener after each use to keep bacteria from contaminating the food in the opened can. An old toothbrush dipped into dishwashing detergent or rubbing alcohol makes the job easy.

Healthy Counter Tops

Stainless steel and quartz are among the safest countertops for kitchens. Not only do these materials clean easily, studies have found that they are more likely to resist bacteria, making them healthier surfaces for food preparation.
