It's no secret that cutting boards can get quite dirty and smelly.
After all, cutting boards are used for slicing not only vegetables and fruits, but also meat and fish.
In this article, we will talk about effective methods of cleansing.
How to Clean a Wooden Cutting Board
The best way to clean wooden cutting boards is to wash the board immediately after use.
Otherwise, the stains will have time to be absorbed into the wood.
To clean, you can use a clean sponge and regular dish soap.
However, be careful to clean the board carefully, otherwise you risk leaving scratches on the cutting board.
Even if you only used one side of the wooden cutting board for cutting, be sure to thoroughly clean and scrub both sides of the board.
In addition, be sure to wash the handle of your wooden cutting board, if you have one.
How to eliminate bad odor
You can apply white vinegar to your cutting board to eliminate the foul odor.
To do this, fill a spray bottle with vinegar and spray your cutting board.
Leave the mixture for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
You can also neutralize the unpleasant smell of raw meat on a cutting board using charcoal.
Pour the substance with hot water and soak the board for 15-30 minutes.
If you don't have charcoal, you can use ground coffee instead.
After the procedure, thoroughly wash the board using special detergents - dishwashing detergent.
After cleaning, wooden cutting boards should be thoroughly dried.
This is necessary to prevent the wood from splitting.
Cracks in wood planks are breeding grounds for bacteria and germs that can cause problems.
