On the move!

Back in September we introduced baby DWS to our Blog readers and said baby is already over five months old! The time has flown in and it won't be long before she's really on the move. Not just rolling all over the place but roaming! It got us to thinking here at DWS about the importance of safety in the kitchen. Hygiene is an important factor for parents when they have toddlers scooting about on the kitchen floor and of course when preparing meals for little mouths.

Firstly the Apollo Quartz kitchen worktop range on the DWS website, with it's man made polymers, is the ideal choice for hygiene. The polymers make the natural quartz non porous therefore avoiding the problem of trapped dirt and grease. This makes these quartz worktops extremely easy to keep clean while giving you peace of mind in the kitchen.

Silestone quartz has the added benefit of Bacteriostatic Protection. This protection is "based on the use of the latest generation silver ions to prevent the propagation of bacterias" from the Silestone website. 

Corian is another very popular, non porous worktop. Corian is so hygienic that it is the material of choice for dentist surgeries and hospitals.


Aside from the hygiene of kitchen worktops, having read a selection of the popular parenting websites, I am reminded that closer to the floor, it's important to keep curious hands out of cupboards with safety catches and locks. The best way of keeping children safe in the kitchen though is supervision and even better....a safety gate to keep them out altogether! At least they won't be under your feet then while you're enjoying cooking on your clean, non-porous worktops! ;-)
