Look Before You Cook

Your kitchen is clean. Your kitchen is germy. Both can be true, a University of Colorado study found. Most folks are diligent about sanitising food-prep surfaces like counters, but they miss the less obvious kitchen areas, says study author Gilberto Flores PhD. On average, the locations identified above harboured the widest variety of bacteria types. Clean them with Clorox Anywhere Hard Surface Daily Sanitizing Spray; it has enough bleach to kill bacteria, but no strong odour.
