When you clean the kitchen counter

[BabyLlamaZen]

With surface sprs, do you use a damp cloth/paper towel? Or dry?

My dh uses a dry cloth and it makes me want to heave. How can you wipe a dirty surface clean with a dry cloth and bit of spray?

And yet it doesn't say anything about water on the container. AIBU?

Spray

[Maybelatte]

Wet cloth and spray. Dry cloth doesn’t work at all, just leaves streaks everywhere.

[Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese]

Wet cloth, then dry with a dry one.
Wouldn't a dry cloth just smear the counters?

[timetest]

I wash down with soapy water and a j cloth then use an antibacterial spray and paper towel.

[BabyLlamaZen]

That's what I thought! But there is nothing on the spray that mentions the cloth needs to be damp. Made me think I was imagining it.

[AndMyHairWillShineLikeTheSea]

A dry cloth actually but I liberally spray so the surface isn't dry anyway.
I wouldn't want to soak the surface tbh, paranoid about the oak.
Couldn't be bothered with cleaning them, then drying them afterwards.

a quick clean anti-bac and a dry cloth.

a proper clean a cloth with washing up liquid and zoflora and then dry it with another cloth.

If you spray, why do you need a wet cloth?

It just dilutes the disinfectant and makes it pointless.
Either use disinfectant and a dry cloth or just soap and a wet cloth

[TARSCOUT]

Spray with antibacterial, leave 2 minutes then remove antibacterial cleaner and broken down germs with dry cloth.

[HariboLectar]

Damp, I'm guessing that's what my parents do too as I've obviously learned to do it that way from somewhere.

My Dettol spray instructions say clean wipe over with a clean damp cloth & allow to dry. I always wipe with a different soapy cloth first (I seem to make a lot of mess when cooking), then let that dry, then use the Dettol.

Spray with homemade vinegar solution and wipe with dry cloth.

[NiteFlights]

Slightly damp cloth. Spray, wipe thoroughly.

Maybe they don’t tell you to use a damp cloth because they want you to use more spray?

[Stannisbaratheonsboxofmatches]

Spray and wet/ damp cloth.

[TabbyMumz]

Mainly just use dish wash sponge with washing up liquid on it. Occasionally if I've been cutting chicken, I might use spray, but again with a damp dish wash sponge.

[CherryPavlova]

Soapy microfibre cloth that is laundered daily. I use boards for food preparation, so it’s only to get rid of splashes or crumbs.

[GrumpiestOldWoman]

Well rung out soapy cloth.

[GoatyGoatyMingeMinge]

Dry cloth

[SilenceOfThePrams]

Wipe off crumbs with a dry cloth, attack sticky bits with a knife or damp cloth.

Spray, leave two minutes, wipe off spray with a second dry cloth. Takes a couple of minutes for the disinfectant to do its job so spraying it down and wiping it off straight away doesn’t leave it clean clean.

[Grumpbum123]

Anti bac wipes and throw

[Neeks888]

The thought of the dry cloth is making me itch...

[dementedpixie]

Spray and then use a bit of dry kitchen roll. Works fine

[Namechangex10000]

Heavily spray the counter, dry micro fibre cloth. It would just be war otherwise? I get pissed off because my other half uses a wet cloth 🤣

[Namechangex10000]

Wet. Not war. Wars in my house happen but not over cloths or kitchen counters!
