For many of us, our wooden cutting boards hold a special place in our kitchens and in our hearts.
After all, having even the fanciest kitchen knife set is no use if you don’t have a great cutting board to use it with. Unfortunately, all that slicing and dicing can cause mold to grow. Not only is this a health hazard, but it can also ruin the look and functionality of your board.
The good news is that it’s easy to remove mold from wooden cutting boards. Here we’ll share our secrets for getting your board clean and hygienic – and keeping it that way.
Method 1
Ingredients
– Lemon
– Salt
– Vinegar
Steps:
– Step 1: Wash the cutting board with water
– Step 2: Sprinkle plenty of salt on it
– Step 3: Scrub half a lemon with it until the cutting board is clean.
Leave the cutting board like this for a few minutes and then rinse it with water. You can also use a white vinegar solution in the last step to improve the sterilization ability.
Method 2
Preparations
– White vinegar
– Salt
– Toothpaste
– Toothbrush
– Cooking oil
– Baking soda.
Steps
– Step 1: Pour an appropriate amount of white vinegar on the cutting board. Then sprinkle an appropriate amount of salt evenly on the cutting board.
– Step 2: Take an old toothbrush and put some toothpaste on it. Scrub the cutting board with a toothbrush again and again. Then put it in water to clean.
– Step 3: After cleaning, wipe the cutting board dry. Spread a little cooking oil on the surface of the cutting board. Cover the cutting board with a layer of plastic wrap and leave it like this for 4 to 5 hours to allow the cooking oil to soak into the board evenly. If too much cooking oil remains on the cutting board, do not use dish soap to clean it. Instead, sprinkle some baking soda on it to clean it.
