Their staff of dedicated housekeepers can scrub, shine, and mop their way to a clean home, and their friendly approach means they field a bevy questions about cleaning facts from their interested customers.

According to Classy Clean Maid Service, one of the most common misconceptions people have about cleanliness is thinking the bathroom is the dirtiest room in the house. The fact is, the kitchen is the room in most homes that's actually filled with more germs than even the grimiest bathtub or toilet seat.

As gross as the dirty kitchen realization is, Classy Clean Maid Service has 3 tips on how homeowners can banish kitchen germ hotspots:

• Sponges & Dishcloths: According to a recent survey publicized in Food & Wine magazine, about 10% of kitchen dishcloths and sponges contain E. coli. Replacing your dishcloths and sponges every week and subjecting them to high heat cleaning on a regular basis is key.
• Disinfect Your Sink: There is more E. Coli in the average kitchen sink than there is in the average toilet. This is because most people don’t regularly scrub and disinfect their kitchen sinks—doing so once a week is the best way to prevent bacteria growth.
• Cutting Boards & Countertops: Most people wipe off their countertops and cutting boards with the same dirty cloths that sit around collecting E. Coli, which means both of these surfaces are hotspots for bacteria. Once bacteria collects on cutting boards and countertops it’s easy for it to get into your food supply, so daily disinfecting is recommended.
