[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm considering marble for a kitchen, but could someone tell me what you use to disinfect the counter top after, say, raw chicken or meat?  I know how careful you have to be with marble and I would imagine the usual disinfectants would be terrible for it?  [/quote]

Curious: do people prep food directly on counters? I've always only used chopping boards for this. And would never consider putting raw chicken on my counters. I guess that it would be ok, so long as you sanitized appropriately but wouldn't it be easier to just use cutting boards that you can clean? [/quote]

Hi, I'm the PP.  I don't actually put raw meat directly on the counter tops (in fact, never), but often there is residual splatter or mess from prepping dinner that needs to be cleaned up.  Just wondering if Clorox wipes, etc. would eat away at the marble when cleaning that kind of thing up.[/quote]

OP here. Personally, I would make my own solution with disinfecting ingredients, alcohol, tea tree, and thyme are what I'm using. Then very hot water to wipe it down. Though it seems that people use Disinfecting sprays and wipes, such as a PP using Clorox anywhere spray. Also, many people seem to use mats under their cutting boards, I got that idea on gardenweb.
