Lesson Overview

19.7 – Sanitizing the Kitchen After Cooking: Sanitizing the kitchen after cooking is essential for maintaining a safe, healthy home. Germs can linger on surfaces even when they look clean, especially after preparing meat, dairy, or eggs. Use disinfecting sprays or diluted bleach solutions on counters, cutting boards, and sinks after use. Focus on handles, faucets, and appliance buttons—areas often touched but rarely cleaned. Let disinfectant sit briefly before wiping to ensure full germ elimination. Replace sponges frequently or microwave them briefly to kill bacteria. Keep mop heads and towels washed weekly to prevent cross-contamination. A sanitized kitchen protects your family from illness and extends the freshness of your space. Turning sanitization into a routine builds habits of precision, responsibility, and care, turning your kitchen into a symbol of order, safety, and personal pride every single day.
