The Kitchen Chore You’re Forgetting to Do Daily

Ah, the kitchen. It’s the heart of the home where all the magic happens. From preparing delicious meals to hosting memorable gatherings with loved ones, your kitchen is a bustling hub of activity. But are you making sure to clean it in the way it deserves?

Today, we’re specifically talking about cleaning your cutting board.

Thoroughly cleaning the cutting board is a chore that many of us forget to do daily. For those of us who use the cutting board every day, however, it should also be cleaned after every use. Why? Because dirty cutting boards can harbor harmful bacteria that can make food taste bad and make people sick.

Thankfully, keeping your cutting board clean is a simple task that only takes a few minutes. To clean your cutting board, wash it with hot, soapy water after each use, and dry it thoroughly with a clean towel.

If you’re dealing with particularly stubborn stains or odors, you can try using a mixture of salt and lemon juice to scrub your cutting board. The abrasive texture of the salt will help lift any stains, while the lemon juice will help neutralize odors.

So next time you’re prepping ingredients for a meal, don’t forget to give your beautiful cutting board a quick clean after use. Your taste buds (and your immune system) will thank you!
