Get this – your kitchen is far, far dirtier than your bathroom! A survey of 1,400 homemakers found that they clean their toilets more frequently than the kitchen. The correlation between food and water contamination has always been around but experts say that other things in your kitchen like counters, cutlery, chopping plates and other appliances can all have unfriendly bugs which aren’t cleaned away.
The Indian Medical Association survey carried out in 200 urban households found that cleaning kitchens on a regular basis was a lower priority for homemakers than cleaning their bedrooms or living rooms.
The study also revealed that none of the 1400 homemakers interviewed cleaned their kitchens every day though 2% of them scrubbed their bathrooms every day. About 8% cleaned their kitchen every fortnight while 14% cleaned it once a month. On the other hand 33% of the respondents cleaned their living rooms and 22% their bedrooms every day. When asked why the77% of the homemakers said that it was particularly troublesome to clean the kitchen while 68% said a clean kitchen wasn’t that important when guests came over.
