The kitchen is the heart of the home — but it can also hide dangerous bacteria, mold, and germs. Learn how to prevent contamination, improve hygiene, and keep your family safe with these simple kitchen cleaning tips.
Even in clean-looking kitchens, bacteria thrive in moist areas and on surfaces that touch raw food. The most common include:
Found in raw poultry, eggs, and produce. Cross-contamination can spread Salmonella across cutting boards and tools.
Present in raw meat and vegetables. Some strains cause serious illness, including kidney damage.
Grows even in cold places like fridges. Found in soft cheese, deli meats, and unpasteurized dairy.
Transferred from human skin to food — can cause food poisoning if proper hand hygiene is not followed.
Mold grows in damp, poorly ventilated spots — often unnoticed until it causes odor or health problems.
