Germiest Places You Forget to Clean
Another place most people often forget to clean is the kitchen sink. It is important to wipe down your kitchen sink with a disinfectant cleaner at least once a week. While soap and water merely removes germs from surfaces, disinfectants actually destroy them. Each month, pour a mixture of one teaspoon of bleach plus one quart of water down your kitchen drain and disposal. Each week, consider putting the dish drainer through a dishwasher cycle.
