we are the dirtiest!!!

A seven-country survey conducted by the Hygiene Council, a global panel of medical experts, found that Malaysian kitchens were dirtier than bathrooms! With dishcloths and kitchen sinks crawling with germs, we are not only preparing great food, but disease and infection are stewing there as well. The results were based on swabs taken from the bathtub, kitchen sink, bathroom and kitchen taps, a plastic toy, fridge handle, dishcloth and kitchen bench. Consequently, a few recommendations were made such as washing hands after using the toilet, cutting vegetables before meat and disinfecting chopping boards regularly.
