REASONS YOUR KITCHEN MUST BE CLEAN AND TIDY

REASONS YOUR KITCHEN MUST BE CLEAN AND TIDY.

1.Set a Good Example for Your Children.
You may think all those cereal boxes cluttering your kitchen counter-tops and the dishes you use directly from the dishwasher instead of putting them away first are a compromise move that you'll get a handle on when life is less hectic. The fact is that whatever you're doing -- or not doing -- is making an impression on your children. They won't love you any less if you never clean out the ice dispenser tray, but they may adopt your less desirable cleaning habits later in life. Cleanliness may not have the almost religious importance previous generations of housekeepers attributed to it, but it's a good habit to teach your children by example.

2.Save on Food Costs
Have you ever noticed that letting one potato in the bag go mouldy makes the rest rot faster, or that leaving a head of lettuce to liquefy in the crisper seems to have an adverse effect on all the other veggies in the drawer (not to mention your enthusiasm for eating them)? Taking a proactive approach to food maintenance will help you reduce spoilage and have more confidence in the leftovers you have in your fridge. Discard spoiling food immediately.

3.Prevent Food-borne Illness
One of the biggest concerns about cleanliness in the kitchen is food-borne illness due to spoilage or cross-contamination. You know about safety precautions like using different cutting boards for meat and vegetables, always washing your hands after handling raw meats and cleaning the sink and counter-tops regularly.
Here are a few chores to consider adding to your kitchen routine to reduce the risk of food-borne illness:
a.Always wash your hands before and after handling perishable foods.
b.Wash cutting boards in hot, soapy water every time you use them. Discard c.cutting boards with deep scoring or gouges.
d.Wash your hands after touching your nose, mouth or eyes.
e.Wash your hands after handling raw meat or eggs.
f.Keep household cleaners away from food prep areas.

4.Limit Household Use of Harsh Chemicals
When things get really dirty, it's easy to think you have to bring in the heavy artillery. Cleaning agents used in kitchens and bathrooms kill germs because they consist of a string of strong chemicals that get the job done, but can also leave residue behind.
Humans aren't immune to the biological effects of strong anti-bacterial agents, and keeping your home clean using safe practices can be challenging. One thing is certain, though. Maintaining a regular cleaning regimen keeps bacteria under control, so there's less of it to deal with.
