Whats the most Germ-full thing found in the kitchen and explain.?

Question

what is the most dangerous and germful stuff or utensil in the kitchen which looks clean, but actually it is not???

and Ways to keep them real clean plsssss

Answer 1

Sponges. According to the Good Housekeeping Institute study, it is the sponge or dish rag used to wash dishes, wipe counters and clean appliances. To keep it germ free, run it in the top rack of the dishwasher with every load. The bleach in the soap disinfects the sponge and kills the germs. I suppose the dish rag should be washed in the washing machine in a bleach load.

As for utinsels, it is hands down the cutting edge on can openers. To keep that clean, run it through the dishwasher or purchase the kind that cuts the outside rim and never comes in contact with the food. (That is from Mary Ellen's Complete Home Reference Book.)

Answer 2

Sponge or can opener. The sponge harbors bacteria from not being rinsed out well enough and allowed to dry. The can opener gets food on it every time it opens a can, but it is usually not cleaned off. Just clean things. I have bought one of the hand can openers that actually releases the top rather than cutting it off, so it never touches the food.

Answer 3

Wooden cutting boards are very bad for holding germs, the porous nature of wood makes it hard to get completely sanitary. Use Plastic or glass cutting boards and sanitize in hot soapy water. Disposable Cut Sheets (Reynolds Wrap makes em) are even better especially when dealing with poultry(chicken, turkey etc..) you can get rapid bacteria growth on chicken or whatever it touches in a short period of time Simple bleach solution will kill most anything, clorox wipes are handy and easy to use

Answer 4

Sponges and towels as the other mentioned.

Cutting Boards can harbor many germs. You should have 2 cutting boards one for meat and one for veggies.
After use they need washed with hot soapy water after each use.

I always use bleach and water solution and spray mine down after they are dried. 1/2 capful of bleach to a full size spray bottle is all that is needed.

Answer 5

Kitchen counters where you lay meat ,where the meat juices drain out on it. If you do not disinfect it with lysol disinfectant wipes , it will be the same as eating off the toilet lid. Anything where raw meat touches needs to be cleaned right away with lysol. sink drains are something that gets overlooked also. they should be cleaned thoroughly at least once a week.

Answer 6

Probably the sponge or washcloth. I soak my sponges in bleach or put them in my top rack in the dishwasher to help keep them germ free.

Answer 7

My guess would be the light switch or refrigerator door handle.

To keep them clean, wipe them off daily with a Clorox wipe.

Answer 8

I would say sponges, or dish rags, especially ones that are not allowed to dry , to dessicate bacteria.

Answer 9

me!

steam cleaning (those little steam cleaners) with some antiseptic is a real good way to keep it clean.

Answer 10

choping board-when wood is wet, moss will grow on surface. when you cut vegetables or meat, it will result to food poisoning.
