@lindenflower Just like we were taught as children, soap, water and friction loosens the germs, a good hard spray of water washes it down the drain. It is also what I use to clean my countertops and all knobs and handles.
I regularly wash my mesh scrubbie, bottle brushes, sink mats and drain strainers on the sanitize cycle in my dishwasher. No sponges in my kitchen, I use Swedish dishcloths, which can be washed it hot water. I do a lot of cooking and baking, so dishcloths, towels and kitchen hand towels go in the laundry every day.
Remember, we cannot eliminate germs - including NTM - the key is to just be clean, not sterile.

@lindenflower I am blessed to have a separate sink area to use - it's my new laundry sink 😊
