It is estimated that around 10 million cases a year are reported in the UK for food poisoning. Around 80% of the cases are bacteria and virus related brought about by pets, people, raw foods, and water. It should be noted that small]that minimal exposures to these bacteria and virus' can be managed by our body's immune system. It's only when there is a great volume of bacteria and viruses that they become harmful. This is all the result from improper food handling, storage, cleaning or lack of, and poor hygienic upkeep in important places like the kitchen.
Gathering and having]Putting all tools and cleaning items ready is our first step when cleaning the kitchen. Having our supplies already prepared in a carry-all bin will ease our job and spare us precious time from searching the house for them. The objective is getting in and out while still achieving a thorough clean.
To increase productivity and fastness, form a cleaning strategy. Identify which areas you will first touch and avoid backtracking or doing the task twice. I focus around the kitchen with counter clockwise direction, cleaning everything completely before moving to the next area.
In terms of counter-tops, there are various items available for use. The constraint is, not all counter-tops can use the same cleaning agents, and some may get dented because of improper cleaning item or procedure. It is recommended to initially check with manufacturer recommendations on what products you can employ. Generally an all-purpose cleaner will suffice which is also as effective as a specialty cleaner and it's one I often use myself.
The sink will often need at least two different cleaning products: a multi purpose cleaner agents for wiping down faucets, and water release handles and a powder type cleaner for scrubbing down the sink. MAke sure to begin at the rim of the sink, then proceed to the faucets, and then concentrate on actual sink itself.
The last place when cleaning the kitchen, if working from top to bottom will be the floor. Before mopping your floor it recommended to perform a thorough sweep of the area to remove unnecessary debris that might be dangling around. After sweeping, for a thorough clean of your flooring it's good to give it a good scrub down with a mop or sponge mop.
