But he does recommend cleaning your kitchen microwave often — just as often as you would scrub your kitchen surfaces to eliminate potential bacteria.

    Mine shouldn’t since I clean that thing regularly with antibacterial cleaners. Unless it’s that 0.1% of germs not annihilated by the cleaner… 🤔 Shit where’s the 100% cleaner?

      Don’t use antibacterial cleaners for general cleaning. Especially not hand soap. All you’re doing is breeding a master race of resistant bacteria in your home.

        Yes. Use plain non-antibacterial soap. Or bleach if you want something stronger.
