Keeping it clean in the kitchen!

I wish to share with you fellow blogger, Marye’s economical tips to clean and safe cooking. A couple of which I intend to apply in my own kitchen:

Keeping safe in the kitchen with natural products is very do-able.

* Washing hands with hot, soapy water is just as effective against these bacteria as antibacterial soaps containing triclosan.
* Wash hands after handling meat and eggs, every time.
* Have separate cutting boards
for vegetables, meat, and other products.
* Replace cutting boards when they become scratched. Bacteria can get into the scratches and is hard to remove.
* Soak leafy greens and then wash them several times.
* Use 3% solution hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar to disinfect surfaces. Keep them in separate spray bottles and spray first one and then the other on the surface. This can be used on fruits and veggies as well.

By using common sense and some natural ingredients you can have a bacteria free kitchen naturally.

So, pause from all that cooking, put down your ladle and take a good look around your kitchen. You, too, may be due for a new cutting board. Like they say, it’s better to be safe than sorry.
