According to a , there are 54 billion bacterial cells on a single cubic centimeter of the average kitchen sponge. In fact, it's common knowledge among microbiologists that the things one uses to keep dishes clean are the dirtiest objects in the house.
A recent study published in the suggests those spongy bacterial colonies present in the cleaning clothes can be more of a health hazard than one could ever imagine. The research study revealed that five among the top 10 bacteria바카라s that grows on the kitchen cleaning sponges can cause serious health issues, including food poisoning and other chronic health diseases.
Kitchens are generally areas in which new bacteria are regularly introduced, both because of human traffic and food preparation. Sponges, which are often warm, wet, and contain traces of old food, are ideal breeding grounds for those bacteria.
But don바카라t think that you can get rid of the bacteria by cleaning the sponges with hot water.
Cleaning the sponges is not the ultimate thing that one can do to prevent the growth of bacteria. According to the study, cleaning these kitchen sponges triggers the growth of the bacteria and it only makes things worse.
The researchers wrote, 바카라Sponge sanitation methods appear not sufficient to effectively reduce the bacterial load in kitchen sponges and might even increase the growth of harmful bacteria.바카라
In other words, the sponges that are used to keep the kitchen clean are the 바카라reservoir of harmful microorganisms바카라. And the only way one can reduce this is by replacing the kitchen cleaning sponges every week.
바카라One should replace their kitchen cleaning clothes or sponges every week,바카라 recommended the researchers.
