Using disinfectants for counters?

To use disinfectants in my kitchen and bathroom is a habit for me. But I have developed a new habit of using those wipes at the desk at work. This is a front desk that is used by all the empolyees during their shift. I just can't take the chance of them coming to work sick and passing it to me.

I do disinfects my kitchen counters when i am preparing meat speacially chicken.I use that disinfectant spray to make sure that it cleans.When i only cooked veges i just wipe it with clean towel. Happy posting.

yes, I make my own. I do clean my counters with antibacterials and also freshen them with a lemon cleaner spray wich I make with real lemons and pour into a spray bottle. I think that we have to be careful of cross contamination.

I use spray on my counters. I don't like to use the wipes because then that stuff gets all over your hands. It is easier to not get the cleaner on you using the spray.

I keep thinking of all those wipes in the land fill and the trees cut down to make them. I use a good old fashion dish rag which I put in with the laundry. I brought a dozen of these and I use clorex diluted to clean my counters.

I use Lysol disinfectant cleaning solution. I then will make sure after cleaning with it that I wash it off good. Gives the kitchen a nice fresh lemon scent.

The only time I disinfect my counters is when I'm preparing raw meat--cutting it up or cleaning it off before cooking it. Then I use bleach to wash the counters and any surface that the raw meat may have touched or the juices may have splashed. A good immune system is great but it's not enough protection against salmonella, trichinosis or other food-born bacterial poisonings.
