3 Rubber Mulch Tips for Your Kitchen
Restaurants aren’t the only places that experience food preparation accidents. No matter how efficiently you design your kitchen, accidents are bound to happen. Though not inevitable, there are measures you can take to prevent or at least, minimize kitchen boo-boos.
Professional kitchens across the states have begun fitting their high-risk work areas with rubber mulch. Made out of recycled, non-toxic rubber granules, rubber mulch is very cost effective and easy to purchase. Here are 3 rubber mulch tips to help you make your home kitchen work-areas risk-free.
1. Beat the “clean as you go” challenge
This is difficult to achieve, especially if you’re a one-man (or woman) team preparing for celebrations: Thanksgiving and your child’s birthday party. Cooking alone isn’t easy, yet you still have to worry about presentation and serving. It gets crazier the more you put off cleaning your work areas.
Rubber mulch counter surfaces and floorings help make cleaning up easy. You won’t have to worry about damaging special floor surfaces and counter granite. You can top these off with removable rubber mulch sheets so you can just wipe the surfaces with a nice wet towel.
2. Avoid accidents
Slipping is a common kitchen accident. Restaurants have begun installing rubber mulch strips on certain areas that often get wet or attract high traffic. You can do the same to your home kitchen.
Wet floor areas surrounding your sink and wet market goods can definitely use some rubber mulch strips. Not only do you save yourself from slipping you also save yourself from a huge amount of cleaning time.
3. Safely store kitchenware
Rubber mulch can also be used to protect your floor by padding heavy equipment like the legs of your fridge and cooking range. You can also cut rubber mulch sheets to fit the base of your cupboards to deter termites and other moisture-dependent pests and moulds.
