Caring for Your Cutting Board: Tips for Longevity

For optimal cleaning, two readily available household items—lemon and coarse salt—work wonders. Unlike chemical products, they are safe and don’t harm your health.

Here’s a simple process:

1. Remove residues or stains with a damp cloth or sponge.
2. Rub a cut lemon on the board, treating it like a sponge.
3. Apply coarse salt, allowing it to act as an abrasive on the dirtiest areas.
4. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes for deeper cleaning.
5. Wash with warm water and air dry thoroughly before storing.

Rehydration Technique:

If the cutting board becomes too dry between cleaning and use, revive it by applying a few drops of mineral or olive oil. Wipe with absorbent paper and ensure it’s dry before using to eliminate any oil traces.
