Is visual motivation for cleaning surfaces in the kitchen consistent with a hygienically clean environment?, a SafeConsume publication, talks about domestic cleaning, reducing risks and how to detect soil/dirt on food preparation surfaces that might look clean. Cleaning surfaces in the kitchen may look clean, with no trace of visible dirt/soil, but we should know that microbial pathogens are invisible to the human eye, so they can be present on surfaces where we do not see them.
