Don 't touch electrical equipment, plugs or switches when your hands are wet as you might get an electric shock, and never leave the kitchen when something is cooking - you don't know what might happen whilst you're gone!

If you spill things, clear it up straight away (use a clean, damp cloth to wipe work surfaces). You should also clear up anything that is spilt on the floor so it doesn't become slippery. (Don't use the same cloth to wipe your work surfaces and the floor.) Keep a rubbish bin nearby when you're cooking, so that you can easily put things in it as you go along, rather than letting the rubbish pile up.

Leave the kitchen tidy when you finish, otherwise you might not be allowed back in for a while!
