DIY Sanitizing Counter Spray
Why Sanitizing Surfaces Matters
Sanitizing your counters and work surfaces is a simple but powerful step in keeping your home safe and healthy. After using chemicals, preparing raw food, or handling everyday messes, invisible residues can linger—spreading bacteria, allergens, or chemical irritants. A proper wipe-down removes not only visible grime but also the microscopic threats that can compromise your health or contaminate your next meal. Whether you’re cooking dinner or cleaning up after the day, clean surfaces mean peace of mind.
