How to Clean a Wooden Cutting Board
- Rinse your cutting board before food dries and sticks to it.
- If your cutting board has stains, pour baking soda onto the stained area and let it sit for five minutes before you scrub.
- Use a cleaning brush and coarse salt to get rid of stuck food.
- Wash both sides of your wooden cutting board with dish soap and hot water.
- Rinse with warm water.
- Pat the cutting board dry with paper towels.
- Store upright to air dry.
Disinfecting
Pour the 3% hydrogen peroxide all over your wooden cutting board. Spread it around using a paper towel and let it sit for about five minutes. Once fizzing has stopped, rinse the cutting board with warm water. Pat dry and let it finish air drying by storing your cutting board upright.
Deodorizing
If your cutting board has a bad smell, distilled white vinegar is a safe and natural deodorizer. Pour the vinegar all over the cutting board and let it sit for five minutes. The white vinegar will neutralize odors and naturally disinfect your cutting board. Rinse, pat dry, and store upright to dry.
Washing a Plastic Cutting Board
- Rinse your plastic cutting board thoroughly to remove food debris.
- For stains mix a paste of lemon juice and baking soda and scrub.
- Use your cleaning brush to get rid of stuck food.
- Wash the cutting board with dish soap and hot water.
- Rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean, dry towel before storing it.
Disinfecting and Deodorizing
A safe, natural way to disinfect plastic cutting boards is to use a cup of water mixed with ½ cup distilled white vinegar. Use a nylon-bristled brush to scrub the vinegar into all the cuts and scratches. Rinse the cutting board with hot water and dry it with a clean towel.
Use hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria and take care of cutting board stains. Scrubbing your plastic cutting board with a lemon will also disinfect and deodorize it. Just be sure to rinse the cutting board well and dry it before you put it away.
