Hidden Germs in Everyday Kitchen Spots
Your kitchen might look clean, but germs are hiding where you least expect them. Sponges, cutting boards, fridge handles, and sink drains can carry bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and Listeria. These germs don’t just live on raw food—they spread fast on surfaces you touch every day.
How Germs Affect Canadians
Canadian health experts warn that foodborne illness is a serious issue. Each year, about 4 million Canadians get sick from unsafe food. Many of these illnesses start in home kitchens, not just restaurants or factories. And wiping your counters with a cloth or using harsh cleaners doesn’t always solve the problem.
The Safe Way to Disinfect—Hypochlorous Acid Spray
That’s where a hypochlorous acid spray can make a big difference. CleanSmart’s Surface Cleaner & Disinfectant is made with hypochlorous acid, or HOCl. It kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses but is safe to use around food, people, pets, and kitchen tools. Unlike bleach, it doesn’t need to be rinsed off, and it leaves no harmful fumes or residue behind.
Easy to Use, Made for Canadian Homes
Using hypochlorous acid spray regularly in your kitchen can help you stay ahead of invisible threats. Spray it on cutting boards, countertops, fridge doors, highchairs, and anywhere food is prepared or touched. It dries fast, so you can clean and move on without worry.
