As it turns out, the "cleaner" a kitchen looks, the more germ-ridden it may be, according to this article. Notably, the article states:
Kitchens that look the cleanest are often the dirtiest. People who wipe their counters a lot often spread bacteria in the process. In a University of Arizona study, the "cleanest" kitchens were those of bachelors who never wiped up and just put the dirty dishes in the sink. Go figure. [emphasis added.]
Of course, Amy is likely to think that I'm just looking to weasel out of keeping the kitchen clean.
