Keep your fridge clean and tidy. Before your do your weekly shopping, remove old and rotten food and clean shelves and racks. Look at expiration dates and be sure to label any containers of homemade food or leftovers.
Use a bin with a lid to keep odors out that attracts flies and other insects. Empty it as soon as it smells, even if its not full.
Wash and disinfect your bin once a week. This will ensure that any germs will die and cannot multiply.
Never use only one chopping board. Make sure that you use one chopping board for meat and one for vegetables.
Change the dishcloth you wipe surfaces with everyday.
Keep kitchen floors free from debris and grease by sweeping and washing regularly.
Don't leave dirty crockery and pans to fester where they can attract harmful bacteria. Wash dishes with hot water and soap as soon as you're done with dishes.

Tips

If you have pets, don't leave their dirty food dishes out after meals as they will attract flies and potentially rodents.
Cat litter trays should not be in the kitchen. Move them to a more appropriate room e.g the bathroom.
Wipe up spillages in your microwave whenever they occur.

Warnings

Wear gloves and appropriate clothing while doing this.
