Working with hot peppers can leave your hands a bit fiery, sometimes for hours.

Next time you brave the peppers without gloves, reach for the bleach.

Another reason to keep that bleach solution around?

Its the right concentration for quickly disinfecting things like cutting boards after washing them.

Just give them a spritz after washing them.

No need rinse afterward.

I always keep a spray bottle under the sink.
