How do I keep my kitchen sponge germ free?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Kitchen sponges harbor billions of microorganisms, including potentially dangerous E. coli and Salmonella. This is why it is essential to keep them as clean as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanitize it regularly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Wash your sponge frequently with hot water and dish soap. Get rid of excess water and let it dry out well in your dish rack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use it for dishes only<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Use your sponge only for dishes. Cleaning counters with it can increase the possibility of spreading germs, especially after handling raw meat, fish, eggs and dairy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replace it often<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s a good idea to replace your kitchen sponge at least once a week, depending on how intensively you use it, even once every few days.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do I disinfect my kitchen sink? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The kitchen sink is supposed to be a symbol of cleanliness. This is where we do most of our washing and cleaning. Yet, it is one of the dirtiest spots in our home. Moisture and food particles make a favorable environment for bacteria. Here are the tips on how to clean it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Disinfect first<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Start by spraying a quality disinfectant<\/a>. Let it sit for a few minutes to kill viruses, and then wipe it. Finally, rinse with warm water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean with baking soda and bleach <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Baking soda can refresh and brighten dull stainless-steel sinks. Sprinkle the soda onto a damp soft cloth and scrub the sink. Don’t skip any nooks and crannies. Then, rinse off any leftover streaks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, plug the drain and fill the basin with warm water. Add a little bleach and let that sit for at least five minutes before draining the sink. Finally, rinse the bleach off with warm water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to disinfect kitchen counters?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if you use a cutting board to chop everything on, you still need to keep your kitchen counter clean. Debris falls off cutting boards, juices run off, and you get a germ-friendly surface that gets in contact with dishes. It is also important to know how to properly clean and disinfect your kitchen countertop to prevent the spread of food-borne illnesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prepare <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, get rid of any debris or food particles left on the counter. You can simply brush it and soak up any spills or wet messes with a dry towel or rag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now that you’ve removed the solids and liquids from the counter, you can get down to proper wiping. Use a rag and hot water mixed with a few drops of a cleaning agent. Plain dish soap will do. After you wipe the entire surface, rinse it with clean water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sanitize <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The cleaning still hasn’t killed all the bacteria. Use bleach or other sanitizers to finish the job. Apply 1:10 bleach-water mix with a rag or spray bottle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
