Kitchen cleaner sprays and gels are handy for wiping clean food spills on countertops.
Used regularly, kitchen cleaners keep food preparation surfaces clean, preventing the spread of bacteria that can cause food poisoning.
There are two main types of kitchen cleaners: anti-bacterials and bleach-based products.
Anti-bacterials tackle mainly bacteria. Bleach-based products also kill virtually all types of viruses and moulds.
Always check the label first to make sure the product is suitable for the surface you want to use it on.
For specific surfaces or cleaning problems, there are specialist products that can help, including abrasive cleaners, and limescale removers.
Clean work surfaces after they have been in contact with raw meat, poultry or fish to avoid spreading potentially harmful bacteria.
You may want to use a cleaner with additional anti-microbial agents for this, for better protection.
If there is a sleeve on the detergent bottle, remove it when empty and recycle it separately.
