Kitchen Cleaning Tips for Safe and Healthy Food Prep
A clean kitchen isn’t just about looks it’s the foundation for safe, healthy meals. Before you start cooking, clear and sanitize your counters to avoid cross-contamination, especially if you’re handling raw meat or fresh produce. Wash cutting boards with hot, soapy water after each use and swap out dishcloths daily to prevent bacteria buildup. Don’t forget high-touch areas like fridge handles, faucet knobs, and appliance buttons, which can spread germs quickly. Most important to wash hand regularly when preparing food. In homes across Sellwood, Lake Oswego and West Linn, we’ve seen how a simple pre-cooking cleaning routine makes meal prep safer and more enjoyable. At Superb Maids Portland, we believe that keeping your kitchen fresh means keeping your family healthy.
