One tablespoon of bleach mixed with one quart of water can be used to clean your sink, faucet and basin up to twice a week. When you’re done, pour the solution down the drain to clean inside.

Cutting boards are one of germs and bacteria favorite places. It is important to wash, scrubbing with a sponge, all cutting boards, preferably washing them in the dish washer after each use. Also it is recommended to have one cutting board for meat, one for veggies and one for breads, and use either plastic or glass because they don’t absorb bacteria-ridden juices.
