Lesson Overview

26.4 – Wiping Counters and Cooking Surfaces Correctly: Wiping counters and cooking surfaces correctly prevents the spread of germs and keeps your kitchen fresh. Start by clearing clutter so every surface is visible. Use a disinfectant or mild cleaner appropriate for your countertop material. Wipe in one consistent direction instead of random motions to collect debris efficiently. Pay extra attention to corners, stove edges, and handles—places where grease often hides. Change cleaning cloths frequently and never reuse sponges used on raw food spills. Rinse and dry surfaces thoroughly to avoid streaks or residue. Cleaning right after cooking keeps bacteria from multiplying and saves time later. This small daily habit creates order, reinforces hygiene, and ensures your workspace is always ready for safe meal preparation and family use.
