There has been lots of talk recently and research, which has led to the reveal of the 5 dirtiest things in your kitchen!

 

And you may be surprised at number 1!

 

We may think our kitchens are clean, but these germs can lurk invisible to the naked eye and scientific results in your kitchen might be horrifying!

 

Results are…

 

5 - The Fridge Drawer - where we store old onions, peppers for ‘later use’ etc - don't forget to treat it to a nice hot soapy wash once in a while! 

 

4 - The Chopping Board - experts recommend a good soapy hand wash followed by the dishwasher to sanitise

 

3 - The Sponge - 1-2 minutes in the microwave to sterilise is recommended (but not if a metal scourer of course!)

 

2 - The Kitchen Sink and soap dispenser

 

And in first place…

 

1 - The Spice Rack!!

 

 

Whilst this may look clean, under the microscope it may not be! Research shows that 48% have germs from Turkeys on them!

 

So, if you’re anything like me, I’m now needing to go and have a clean!

 

Does the spice rack surprise you?
