Traditional disinfectant wipes arent food-safe, which might mean your kitchen counters arent, either.

Most of the time, I watch a video and pick up a new tidying trick orbathroom-cleaning hack.

Still, Im not one to believe everything I see online.

And its not like Im chopping vegetables and mixing ingredientsdirectlyon my countertop.

But this one nagged at me, so I decided to confer with an expert.

I wish I could be more specific, but each key in of wipe is unique, she admits.

Reading the label is really the key.

Food safety isn’t the only thing to consider when it comes to cleaning wipes.

Some contain ingredients that can also break down the sealants on certain countertops.

Always consult local regulations and follow proper sanitation procedures.

As for me, Im not going to toss out my handy wipes.
