I can't remember if I said this to you before, but I don't hold a home kitchen to the same standards as a commercial volume kitchen. The commercial kitchen by nature of it's volume has a higher likelihood of foodborne illnesses and so extra precaution must be taken.

At home, just like u/fusion260, my cats get on the counter and it's no big deal after a Lysol/Clorox wipedown. at least we actually wipedown our counters, which is more than I can say for Hobnob.
