Basic Kitchen Rules: Keep it Clean, Keep it Sanitary

- when something explodes/overflows/splashes in the microwave, clean it up

- wash dishes in the left side of the sink so whatever's left on the plate can go down the garbage disposal and not get stuck in the drain

- when you put stuff down the garbage disposal drain, run the garbage disposal

- when you use a sponge, rinse it and squeeze it out

- don't put food in the trash (put it down the garbage disposal)
