A new survey has revealed that while 90% of Irish adults feel confident in their kitchen cleaning, only 25% consistently follow key cleaning practices.

The information comes as Safefood launched its ‘Clean As You Go’ campaign.

Not following key cleaning practices leaves families vulnerable, with 64% not cleaning dishcloths every 2 days and 74% failing to wash hands before and after using mobile phones while cooking.

Safefood urges following simple ‘Clean As You Go’ habits, like thorough handwashing, cleaning chopping boards and regularly changing dishcloths to ensure healthier, safer meals. Get the facts, visit safefood.net.
