Is 1 surface cleaner than another? i.e. plastic/glass/metal/wood/cloth/etc attracts or holds fewer virii/bacteria/etc. than other surfaces? thank you!

Opinions vary: Wooden cutting boards were replaced by plastic because they supposedly harbored germs; then it was discovered that the germs don't survive because the wood dries out. Basically, any non-porous surface will not scratch & hide germs; others that dry out may be ok. Any surface that scratches & doesn't dry quickly may hold living germs. Use separate boards 4 meat, poultry, veggies. Clean regularly.
