Cleaning a Cuttingboard

My cuttingboards are all wood and I don't like to clean them with just warm water and soap. After I wash them I normally pour some hydrogen peroxide on them which works great. But one day I did not have any so I decided I would need to use an alternative. Instead I poured some lemon juice on it because lemon juice is a natural bleach. It worked great! I thought this may be helpful to some other people that would like to use something to clean the wooden cuttingboard that is natural instead of using bleach. Cook time is the amount of time it takes to complete the cleaning process. I went ahead and listed both cleaning products but don't use both at the same time. Use lemon juice OR use hydrogen peroxide. The formatting said that the recipe had to have more than 1 ingredient. Show more

Directions

  1. Wash cuttingboard with soap and water.
  2. Rinse. Then gently and slowly pour lemon juice OR hydrogen peroxide on the cuttingboard. Make sure to cover well.
  3. Let sit for 1 minute.
  4. Rinse and let cuttingboard air dry. (You may be able to use less lemon juice. I just approximated the amount since I normally just pour it out of the bottle).
  5. ** If you don't have lemon juice, use 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide and let sit for 1 minute. You will see bubbles and know its working. Make sure to rinse really well and air dry.
