Dough cutting boards are tools used frequently in food processing, so they are very easy to stick to odors, grease and accumulate bacteria if not properly cleaned. In particular, wooden and plastic cutting boards can both become places to hide harmful bacteria for health if used for a long time without thorough cleaning.
Instead of just rinsing with water or dish soap, many people have applied natural cleaning methods right at home to increase hygiene efficiency and ensure food safety.
Below are some simple ways to clean the cutting board that anyone can do.
1. Use salt and lemon
Sprinkle salt on the surface of the cutting board, then use half a lemon to rub directly. This mixture helps remove odors and clean stains effectively.
2. White vinegar
White vinegar has the ability to disinfect and deodorize naturally. You can spray it directly onto the cutting board, leave it for a few minutes and then wash it off with clean water.
3. Baking soda
Baking soda helps clean stubborn stains and effectively deodorize. Mix with water to create a mixture and rub on the surface of the cutting board.
4. Hot water
Washing the cutting board with hot water helps kill part of the bacteria and soften the stain, making cleaning easier.
5. Dry after washing
After cleaning, the cutting board should be left to dry naturally in a ventilated place to limit mold and bacterial growth.
Applying the right tips to clean cutting boards at home not only helps keep tools clean but also contributes to ensuring food safety and hygiene for the whole family.
