They often go unnoticed but can harbor germs. Discover how to eliminate these hidden threats effectively.

Kitchen: The Surprising Culprit

The kitchen may look clean, but it’s a major germ hotspot where raw food, water, and hands meet. Sponges, cutting boards, and sink drains often harbor bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella.

[{"selector":"#anim-0097ed43-06b2-4c65-83a0-05f09cb4317b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-db5c8087-8469-453c-91d2-9ad87ad2e2e7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-107.20222%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Sponges should be replaced often or microwaved to kill germs. Use separate cutting boards for meat and produce, and clean them well. Sanitize sink drains weekly with boiling water or baking soda and vinegar.
