🔬🧼Any tips or suggestions?
Here are a few of mine:
🔸I wash and scrub the exterior of fruits and vegetables (especially those with rinds) before slicing.
🔸 I shop at a clean market and only buy pristine goods. No vegetables with cuts or gouges in rind, no odorous fish or meat. Check the date and that it is cold.
🔸 Before putting bottles of milk or juice etc. in the fridge, I wash the exterior of the bottle. I wipe, clean the cellophane on things like blocks of cheese.
🔸 Keep hands washed and the sink, counters and refrigerators clean (terry white 1/2 bar cloth with hat water, soap and a bit of bleach. (I keep a clean, bleached cotton terry cloth and avoid sponges (but keep the Scotch Brite sponges clean w chlorine bleach, soap water).
