Mike
Carruthers:
If
you want to keep your house really clean and germ free…
Jeff Bredenberg:
What you have to do is kill the germs where scientists
tell us they are most likely to be and here's a big surprise -
your kitchen sink is a basket of bacteria.
Jeff Bredenberg,
author of the book How
to Cheat at Cleaning…
The reason for
that is you've got meat drippings, you've got peelings, all
sorts of stuff that is leaving a residue of harmful bacteria
- salmonella, and e.coli. So you want to use your sanitizing
cleaner on your sink, on any food preparation surfaces. Here's
a surprise: the nearest telephone to your kitchen, because the
telephone rings while you're marinating some meat or something,
you drop that, pick up the phone and you've smeared e.coli onto
your telephone receiver. Another hot spot is the refrigerator
handle because you do the same thing there.
And when you
use a germ killing cleaner in your bathroom and kitchen, Jeff
says…
Leave it on for
the prescribed amount of time; don't go scrubbing right away
because it hasn't had its time to kill the germs yet. Then you
come in and you mop that stuff up and you've done yourself a
world of good because I think your number-one priority for cleaning
in the house is safety and sanitation.
