Do you have a clean kitchen? Well, you should. Your kitchen, the counter in particular, will have constant contact with the food that you cook, which in turn will make contact with your body. It's not farfetched to assume that whatever is growing on your kitchen counter will get to your food, and consequentially into your stomach.
So consequently, you must clean your kitchen. I know you probably do not like it, as I do not either. And even if you tell me that you maintain it on a regular basis anyway, I still won't let you off the hook. Chances are, you've forgotten to clean one crucial thing; the grout.
The very nature of the grout in between your tiles makes it absorb the ambient particles around it, including dust, spoiled food, and slime. As it gets dirtier, the particles go deeper in, and are thus a lot harder to clean. So basically, the longer you wait, the more effort you'll have to put in when you finally do decide to clean it.
And then, as if the bacteria aren't enough, leave it unkempt for a while and it begins to breed the dreaded fungus known as the black mold. This greenish-black mold is very irritating to both our pets and us; mere contact with it causes skin rash, and at its worst, it has been known to make an infant's lungs bleed.
So clean your kitchen, and pay extra attention to the grout. Clean it everyday by washing, and scrub it good with a decent cleanser. Take it a step further, and coat it with an alcohol-water solution by spraying the contents onto the surface of your counter.
Lastly, if the process of cleaning itself is difficult for you, then you may consider hiring professional grout cleaners to do the job for you. I live in Atlanta, and there are awesome grout cleaners in that area. Call them now, and watch them to something to your kitchen grout that you didn't think could be done; make them look new again. - 16492
