Why would I waste time by cleaning an already cleaned surface? I clean it after I finish cooking.

Edit: You seriously disinfect and clean your counters twice every single time you cook? What do you only cook like one meal a week or something? You’re suggesting I clean and disinfect my counters literally twice as much when the cat can just be trained to not go on the counters. One seems like much less effort than the other to me.

I don’t cook or eat on the other surfaces in my house. Other than the kitchen table, which the cat also is not allowed on. Who wants to completely clean and disinfect their counters every single time they cook? I cook several times a day, that’s a major pain in the ass.

They walk on their own shit in their litter boxes. Why would anyone want that on their counters?
