In reply to how often do you wipe down your kitchen counters?, posted by anastasia56 on March 13, 2005, at 21:32:44
Hobbies are good. If you can keep your mind on them.
Here's a hobby. Splash a bit of bleach into a sink of water, soak your dishcloth in it (I'm talking a couple of tablespoonsful of bleach, not a half a cup) for a few minutes, THEN wipe your counters. People laugh about germs and stuff but when you're educated about it, it's not a laughing matter, not a joke, there are serious bacteria out there that make people sick every day, stuff, my darlings, that you bring home from the grocery store. Cutting open a fruit or vegetable without having first thoroughly cleansed it first can cross-contaminate so that even if you don't eat the skin, you've now got that nasty bug on other surfaces; so can using counters that haven't been properly cleaned.
Enough said, lecture over. Just once a day, bleach your cloths. And if you don't, the next time you get a serious ache in your tummy, think about where that bug came from.
