The kitchen's the heart of the home, but, according to Dr. Charles Gerba, a microbiologist and professor at University of Arizona, it's also the heart of its germs. Between prepping and cleaning, the kitchen is a veritable incubator for bacteria. And the germiest spot is something you use every day: your kitchen sponge.
"The kitchen sponge is wet and moist, always soaking up coliform bacteria. It's like bacterial heaven," says Gerba. Here's the solution: Use paper towels to wipe up spills. Clean counters with an antibacterial kitchen wipe like Lysol or Clorox. Make it a habit to microwave thoroughly wet sponges for 1 to 2 minutes every day to sanitize them. |
