The chopsticks you just bought can be washed with tap water first, then with detergent, and scalded with boiling water for half an hour before use.
Every office worker will encounter this problem. After breakfast every day, he rushed out to work before washing dishes and chopsticks. Dishes and chopsticks were scattered on the kitchen chopping board and left the house. But can chopsticks serve health? Cleanliness is the most important thing.
First of all, wash the dishes and chopsticks in time after meals at home. The habit of throwing chopsticks on the table at will cause close contact between chopsticks and bacteria. The longer time goes by, all kinds of bacteria will flood the chopsticks and even penetrate into them. Secondly, when eating out, you should prepare chopsticks, because chopsticks are the easiest to spread Helicobacter pylori and other germs, which can easily lead to family oral and gastrointestinal diseases. When eating, put personal chopsticks on the bowl to minimize the chance of chopsticks coming into contact with pollution sources.
"To keep chopsticks clean and not deformed, there must be a correct cleaning method." Some people are used to putting chopsticks directly into the chopsticks box after washing them, or putting them into the chopsticks box after drying them with a rag. In fact, the humid environment is a breeding ground for many bacteria. Even if there is a small amount of water stains, chopsticks often "live" in a humid environment, and it is inevitable to be infected with bacteria.
The correct cleaning method is: wash chopsticks slowly in pairs with flowing water. After cleaning, drain the water and put it in a chopstick box. Dry and wet chopsticks should be separated to avoid cross-infection of bacteria. At the same time, clean the chopsticks box once a week and disinfect it frequently to ensure the inner wall is dry and hygienic.
It can be seen that chopsticks are one of the media of bacterial transmission, so cleaning and disinfection are very important. Therefore, it is suggested that there should be someone to use chopsticks at home.
