My mother always scolded me when I would leave dirty dishes in the sink, or spill something on the kitchen surfaces and not clean it. As an adult, I realise how right she was for inculcating these cleaning habits in me because a dirty kitchen is a hazard. Kitchen is a high contact zone, and it is where the transfer of germs can take place extremely quickly. Therefore, we must do our best to clean it daily. If you are interested in knowing why cleaning the kitchen is important and how you can do it efficiently, read this article. https://www.bondcleaninginmelbourne.com.au/why-is-regular-cleaning-and-sanitation-important-in-the-kitchen/

Australia cleaned up a hapless New Zealand under lights on the fourth day to secure a commanding 296-run victory in the first Test on Sunday. Chasing a record 468 runs, New Zealand crumbled against sustained bowling from Australia’s undermanned attack and were bowled out for 171 in a lopsided contest. A rejuvenated Australia have won their third straight Test of the home season since retaining the Ashes in England and stretched their unbeaten run in day-night matches to seven. BJ Watling (40) and Colin de Grandhomme (33) stonewalled in a bid to stretch the Test into a final day, but their dismissals triggered a swift end. Quick Mitchell Starc and spinner Nathan Lyon claimed four wickets apiece.

A "tornado" made entirely of dust has been filmed whipping through a parched paddock in South Australia. Baker James Soar, 18, was driving through Blakeview when he saw the phenomenon commonly known as a "dust devil". He said it's a sight that's becoming all too familiar as Australia battles the worst drought in over 100 years. "It's a common thing when ground is dry and there's a bit of wind. I've seen many travelling through regional South Australia," he told 9news.com.au. While they look dramatic, he said he believes dust devils only pose risks for people with respiratory issues. "They're usually harmless, unless you have asthma or something, but otherwise they can be quite cool to look at," Mr Soar said. "Because we live in the suburbs it's not to bad. But they can be a nightmare for people in farms when it comes to the washing." Read more:  https://www.9news.com.au/national/dust-devil-twister-fil...
