7 surprisingly germy kitchen items you never think to clean

Salmonella, Listeria, and yeast and mould are partying it up in here with your cucumbers and carrots, and a dirty drawer could contaminate new clean veggies you put in there, Lisa Yakas, a microbiologist and senior project manager at NSF, told CBSNews.com.

De-gunk it: NSF recommends that once a month, you remove the drawer from the fridge and wash the bin with warm water and a mild detergent. You can get rid of odours with a baking soda solution (about 1 to 2 tablespoons of baking soda in 1 litre of water). Let everything dry thoroughly.
