It has long been calculated that a person spends most of his life sleeping, which is not so bad compared to how much time the average housewife spends in the kitchen.

Moreover, the lion's share of this time is spent on cleaning up after cooking, and not on the cooking itself.

Here are the mistakes that should be avoided once and for all when cleaning the kitchen.

Mistake one

You can't save on dish sponges. This habit is detrimental to your health. The amount of bacteria living in this item is close to that living under the rim of the toilet. You can try disinfecting it in the microwave, but it's cheaper to replace it.

Mistake two

Housewives use chlorine bleach to disinfect surfaces. This would be fine, but it cannot be mixed with other household chemicals. It is dangerous for the skin of the hands, respiratory organs and mucous membranes.

Mistake three

Jars for spices, salt and other food products should be washed in the same way as other kitchen utensils. Pathogenic bacteria readily settle and multiply on their surfaces, and maybe even inside.

Mistake number four

In cabinets and on shelves where dishes are usually stored, where sunlight does not reach, an environment is created for comfortable habitation and reproduction of bacteria. Therefore, cleaning is carried out here, even if it seems that everything is in order.
