Step 1: Begin by sprinkling coarse salt on your cutting board.
Using half a lemon, scrub the salt into the board’s surface. The acidity of the lemon helps to break down stains and odors while the salt acts as a gentle abrasive.
Step 2: Rinse the board with water to remove the lemon and salt residue.
Step 3: In a small bowl, mix equal parts of white vinegar and water.
Dip a clean cloth into the solution and wipe down the cutting board to disinfect and further clean it.
Step 4: Create a paste using baking soda and water.
Apply the paste to any stubborn stains or odors on the cutting board and let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing with a sponge or brush.
Step 5: Rinse the cutting board thoroughly with water and dry it completely with a clean towel.
Step 6: For extra disinfection, you can also spray the cutting board with a mixture of water and a few drops of dish soap.
Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing and drying.
Your cutting board is now clean, sanitized, and ready to use for your next cooking adventure!
Notes:
– This cleaning method is effective for both wooden and plastic cutting boards.
