How To Organically Clean Your Cutting Board

Every master chef has a wooden cutting board in the kitchen. But since wood is porous, it absorbs the color, odor and the bacteria of the foods cut on the board.  Harsh chemicals aren't good for you or your cutting board. Every master chef has a wooden cutting board in the kitchen. But since wood is porous, it absorbs the color, odor and the bacteria of the foods cut on the board. Harsh chemicals aren't good for you or your cutting board.

Step 1: A Dash Of Salt

Take a handful of salt and sprinkle it onto the board. Since salt is a natural disinfectant, it will absorb the color, flavor and odors on your board.

Step 2: In Hot Water

Use the sponge and rub hot water over the salt. You can continue to sprinkle in the salt and use the sponge as a natural abrasive until all the stains and odors are gone.

Step 3: Dry Your Board

Wipe off the salt and water with a towel. To make sure your board doesn't warp, set it on its side when you are finished cleaning.
