Ever have a strange odor in your Kitchen and you could not figure where it was coming from? There are a multitude of areas where Bacteria can hide in your Kitchen Area. They are easy to find and you will be surprised how close they are to you.
Everyone month, I take a small spray bottle filled full of 3 to 5% Peroxide that I purchased at Public and spray my Kitchen Counter-top and the inside of the Garbage Disposal. Try it, you will be surprised at how much Bacteria and Germs are there even after you clean it.
After you spray the counter-top: wait about five minutes and you will see all the areas start to bubble and show you the hidden Bacteria and Germs that you missed. It is a real eye opener to what is really hidden in your Kitchen
The next place you need to check out for hidden Bacteria and Germs is your Kitchen Sink Sprayer. The head needs to be removed at least twice a year to clean what is called a Biofilm/Germ Collector. Most individuals do not even think about cleaning this. If it has water in it, it needs to be cleaned. Also, remove the sink strainer off of the main faucet arm and clean it also, great place for Bacteria to collect.
If you decide to take a water sample to test your water, follow Safe Homes' Standard Practices Method when taking a water sample from a household water source by letting the water run for at least two (2) minutes before taking the sample to ensure you are getting a true sample of the water and not any Bacteria or Germs which may be hidden in the faucet fixture.
The last thing I want to mention is your under the sink water filter. When you get ready to change the filter cartidges, disinfect the inside before putting in the new filters. If you look carefully, you will see a Biofilm/Germ on the interior which is hidden algae or Bacteria on the walls of the filter housing. Do not forget about your Refrigerator Filter also.
In conclusion, keeping up with Bacterial Growth in your house or apartment is a full time job. If you do not keep your house clean of Bacteria, you can possibly experience problems. If you feel that you have a medical condition from your Kitchen, you can take swabs to your Doctor and they can send them to the Laboratory for analysis. Clean is Green.
