Wash hand towel and dishes more often
Why so much attention to kitchen towels?
- If you do not wash your kitchen towel regularly,E. coli can settle there. Rod-shaped bacteria are known to be quite capable of causing severe food poisoning. And what is most unpleasant, some of their strains do not respond to antibiotics. It is a mistake to think that contact with a dangerous bacterium is possible only through boiled water and stale products. E. coli lives well in the average kitchen, and its most favorite place there are kitchen towels. Unfortunately, we are not always good enough to wash our hands, and wiping them on a towel, we leave some of the bacteria on it. Which again come back to us, you just wipe your hands with a towel before eating or after washing dishes.

Of course, hot water kills bacteria, but does not kill spore cultures, which die only when boiled or exposed to alkali. That sponge is dangerous because fat and water accumulate in its porous structure, and this is exactly what bacteria need for vital activity.

Do you have to throw out rags for cleaning or can you just wash them?- If you use cloths made ofmicrofiber, then to avoid the proliferation of bacteria in wet fibers, after each cleaning they must be hung to dry. The same applies to fabric rags, if properly cared for, they will last for several years, non-woven - about a month. But viscose roll napkins are truly disposable.
