The kitchen can sometimes be the dirtiest room in a house, which can be alarming since we prepare and often eat our food here. For this reason, check out this list of the dirtiest spots in your kitchen in order to successfully clean it and fight germs.
Refrigerator
This is not surprising since we keep most of our food in the fridge, so it’s important to clean and disinfect it regularly in order to store your food safely.
Cutting Boards
Keep in mind that wooden cutting boards should be replaced if they’re too old or damaged. Deep scratches and marks on a cutting board are perfect spots for bacteria to grow, so make sure to clean your cutting board regularly and replace old ones.
Kitchen Sink
The kitchen sink is where we wash our dirty dishes and food, so it’s not surprising that it’s the germiest place in the kitchen.
Knobs and Handles
Knobs on kitchen cabinets as well as drawer pulls are probably the most touched spots in every kitchen. This makes them a hotspot for bacteria which is why it’s important to clean and disinfect them regularly.
Salt and Pepper Shakers
Salt and pepper shakers are also one of those tiny kitchen tools everyone in your home uses on a daily basis, which means they get dirty pretty quickly.
