Hey! Your Wooden Cutting Board Needs a Deep Clean

It's difficult to notice how dirty your lovey board is......So follow the following! Scrape off any leftover food bits with a spatula or dull knife—don’t dig into the wood, just get the surface clear. Grab a stiff brush or sponge, add dish soap and warm water, and scrub the board. If there’s stubborn gunk, sprinkle on some baking soda or salt and let it sit with a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for a few minutes. Rinse every side with clean water—never soak it! Pat dry with a towel and stand it up to air dry. After cutting meat or produce, sanitize with diluted bleach or white vinegar followed by hydrogen peroxide. Wipe down, then dry completely. Oil the board monthly with food-grade mineral oil, and use board cream or beeswax to keep it sealed. If it gets deep knife marks or cracks, it’s time for a new one. #KitchenTips #CuttingBoardCare #HomeHacks #Food #Cooking
