Microbes live everywhere, even where, it would seem, they can not be. Cutting board - one of these nurseries. In addition, over time, wooden and plastic boards absorb the aromas of products. The pear starts to smell like onions, and strawberries are sausage, so occasionally carry out general cleaning of chopping boards.

If you do not like the gnashing of a knife on glass and prefer wood or plastic, then we proceed to total cleaning. Ideal natural cleaners are soda, salt, vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and citric acid. Using these ingredients, you completely clean your board. For example, hydrogen peroxide kills germs. A combination of salt and lemon also removes an unpleasant odor. Pour a little salt and rub it with half a lemon. The board is cleaned!
