5. Kitchen sink, countertop, and sponges 厨房洗涤槽、工作台面和清洁海绵

There are lots of places for germs to hang out in the kitchen, including the drain in your sink, the countertop, and the sponges, rags, scrubbers. But for every germy hot spot in the kitchen, there's a smart and simple way to clean up.
厨房里有很多地方可供细菌栖身，比如洗涤槽里的排水管、工作台面、清洁海绵、抹布和擦洗工具。不过针对厨房里每个经常会有细菌的地方，都有一个简单的清洁妙招。

Simple Fix 简单解决办法
After you rinse or cook food, clean the sink, counters, and faucet with soap and water or an antibacterial cleanser. It's tempting to leave your cleaning implement--a damp rag or sponge--hanging around to use the next day, but that could create a germ breeding ground. Instead, sanitize1 your sponge or brush in the dishwasher and your dishrags in the washing machine. To really disinfect the sink and drain, clean them twice a week with a solution of one tablespoon of bleach and one quart of water: scrub the basin, then pour the solution down the drain.

洗完食物或烹饪完食物后，用肥皂和水，或者用抗菌清洁剂清洗洗涤槽、厨房台面以及水龙头。人们往往将湿抹布、清洁海绵等清洁用品悬挂起来第二天继续使用，不过那样也会使它们成为细菌的滋生地。不要那样做，而是将清洁海绵或清洁刷放入洗碗机里消毒，将抹布放入洗衣机里清洗。若想要真正为洗涤槽和排水管消毒，每周用一汤匙漂白剂和一夸脱(约946毫升)水的混合溶液清洗两次：先擦洗洗涤槽，然后将混合溶液倒入排水管。
