Towel could be the most dirty thing in kitchen besides the dish washing span. Would you agree and why?
Yes! It is definitely right if we rub dirty surfaces of hands, tables, plates, kitchen equipments and so on with THE SAME TOWEL. It will be even worst if the towel is not washed in a long time until it sting and blacken. If the dirty and wet kitchen towel is left unwashed, it will incurr the source of bacteria growth and resulting the towel become sting.
It is no use in cleaning hands or any equipment but dried with such dirty towel. Bacteria in the towel will contaminate the cleaned hands or equipmentand eventually, causing food poisoning, after consuming food (Imagine using the dirty equipment or touching food with contaminated hands). So what to do to avoid it? Practise these...
1. Wash kitchen towels after using them for several days. Do not wait until it is smelly.
2. Hang the kitchen towels after using to let it dry.
3. Separate the towels for rubbing hands, plates & bowls and equipment.
4. It would be nice if using paper tissues or hand drying to dry hands.
When no towels, DO NOT do this >>>>>>>>
