The kitchen is one of the places in the house that has the most bacteria (Yes, experts say that there is more bacteria in a cloth or scourer than in the bathroom.) And in these times when precautions must be taken and every corner of the house must be thoroughly cleaned to eliminate any trace of COVID 19, cleaning the kitchen is a priority.
Not surprisingly, we must remember that this virus that has changed our lives so much in recent weeks can remain active for several hours on surfaces, plastics and packaging. Today, after cleaning spaces such as the living room, we are going to review the kitchen so that it is left in perfect condition.

We will never tire of repeating it. Along with the already famous # quédateencasa, the other great measure that we all must take is wash our hands thoroughly on a regular basis. Especially important to do is when we return from the street, or when we go to handle food.
So you already know, wash your hands for 15-20 seconds (There are those who use the technique of singing Happy Birthday twice while washing them), remembering to rub all parts of the hand (palm, fingers, back, and wrist). To dry them, use a clean cloth or a single-use paper. And of course, remember to turn off the tap to avoid wasting water while you are thoroughly rubbing your hands.

In these areas we have breakfast, sometimes we eat, we cook, we leave the purchase … and it should be one of the points in the kitchen that we pay the most attention to avoid catching what we do not want. It is best to clean them frequently with a household or soapy water cleaner. Especially, clean these surfaces before and after cooking, or after you have brought your grocery or grocery store purchase.

From the outset it must be clear food is not a source of virus transmission by itself. But it is possible that the COVID 19 remains in the packaging that covers the products if they have been handled incorrectly by people affected by the coronavirus.
For this reason, and although contagion through catons or plastics is not common because the viral load is usually low, The OCU advises to take precautions and go through porous containers such as cans or glass bottles with a cloth moistened with soapy water or with a hydroalcoholic solution.
In the case of containers that are indeed porous, such as the cardboard packaging of canned food, yogurt or milk bricks, experts recommend remove that seal and throw it away, as recommended by José Antonio Lopez Guerrero, professor and director of the UAM Neurobiology group, in this video from RTVE.es. And of course, remember that once we have finished manipulating the purchase, we must wash our hands.
Cleans knobs and handles
The knobs and handles are one of the elements that we touch the most in the whole house, and they do not always have the attention they deserve when it comes to cleaning. Uses a damp cloth with soap, or with bleach or alcohol. Disinfecting wipes are also a good solution to clean these items.

So change cloths, scouring pads and rags on a regular basis. It is best to dip cloths and scouring pads. And the rags, you have to wash them at maximum temperature in the washing machine.

Cutting boards are another tool that we find in the kitchen that can be a major source of infection. It is best to have two tables, one for raw food, and one for already cooked food. Also, it is very important to disinfect them after each use. And if it has very deep indentations that are impossible to clean, change it directly.
