A wooden board is one of the dirtiest tools in the kitchen. Therefore, it is so important to know some of the nuances of cleansing.
How often should you clean your wood cutting board
The board must be cleaned after each use.
In addition, there should be a board for different types of products: meat, fish, vegetables, fruits.
However, deep cleaning is important to carry out less often - about 1 time per month, depending on the degree of contamination.
There is no need to globally clean a wooden board that you are not using.
What you need to clean your cutting board
- Brush and sponge for dishes;
- Dishwashing liquid;
- Paper towels or microfiber cloth.
How to clean
Do not use the dishwasher for cleaning; wash the cutting board by hand.
In the dishwasher, the inventory may be slightly damaged, and microbes and dirt will accumulate in the cracks.
Follow the steps:
- Remove any leftover food and dampen the board with warm water.
- Apply dishwashing detergent and scrub the board with a brush or sponge on both sides.
- Rinse your cutting board with clean water.
- Dry the board thoroughly with a microfiber cloth or paper towels.
- Leave clean inventory in a dry, checked area until dry.
Clean both sides, even if you use one.
