Kitchen sink

There are countless warnings about how you should make sure your toilet is clean because of the E.coli bacteria that are just waiting around to get on everything you own. Yet, there have been studies that show that there is more bacteria in the kitchen sink than in the toilet!

That is because they love the wet environment and the bacteria feed onto food particles that are left on the dirty dishes and down the drain. Not so appealing to leave the dishes for the next day, no? That’s why you have to make sure that amongst the places in your house you clean almost religiously, you include the kitchen sink.

Use one of the specially designed disinfectants for the kitchen sink, that is going to kill all the bacteria and pathogens. Or you can even make your own, by mixing one part rubbing alcohol with one part water and spraying it over a clean sink: that way it will both quickly dry and disinfect! Make this a part of your daily routine for a germ-free sink and some peace of mind!

    Faithfully, at the end of every month, I run my washing machine with a packet of Tide washing machine cleaner. Surprised this wasn’t included on the list.

    These are great tips because we do not think about them until we get sick..Alcohol wipes should be in everyones Xmas stockings to sanitize those screens of the cell phones and remote controls /door knobs etc..
