Serve Up Clean Kitchens This Holiday Season with Microban®

We can’t tell if the year has crawled or flown by (maybe a bit of both?), but what we do know is that the season for traditions and comfort foods has arrived! We’ve officially made it to the holidays. Whether you’re hosting people in your home this year, or opting for a quieter celebration, this bustling time of year can bring with it excitement, reflection, and memorable moments.

With all the special meals to be cooked, cocktails to be poured, and cookies to be eaten, maintaining a clean kitchen can be a challenge for many. On a typical day, the average American will spend anywhere from 37-51 minutes in the kitchen to prepare and cook food. For a holiday meal, this increases to an average of 6 hours in the kitchen just preparing the meal – not including the big holiday clean up tasks.

Chef’s kiss: Microban® in the home kitchen

72% of consumers worry about the presence of bacteria in their kitchen when preparing food [1]. With all the busyness that comes along with this season, the last thing holiday hosts need to worry about is unwelcomed microbial guests invading their kitchen.

While families are enjoying time together and making memories, it’s understandable that some cleaning practices might slip through the cracks. That’s why it’s nice to incorporate products that contribute to a systems-approach to clean in your kitchen and other areas of your home, that work 24/7 to fight the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew.

Merry and Bright (and Microban® protected!)

Some of our favorite home and kitchen products with built-in Microban® antimicrobial technology are the perfect additions to enhance the cleanliness of your space. Explore below and stock up for this season, or even add to your holiday wish-list!
