Two simple ingredients can remove bacteria and odour from wooden chopping boards
With the festive cooking marathon winding down, many are ready to take a break from chopping and prepping. But before we hang up our chef's hats, it's a smart move to give heavily utilised kitchen items like wooden chopping boards a really good going over.
Despite common misconceptions, wooden boards are just as hygienic as their plastic counterparts. In fact, they actually boast inherent anti-bacterial qualities thanks to the natural grain of the wood, which can prevent the growth of nasty bacteria.
Nonetheless, they must be meticulously cleansed between uses to prevent germs and bacteria from finding a foothold. While a brisk scrub with warm, soapy water might dispatch crumbs, getting rid of stubborn blotches and lingering scents demands a bit more elbow grease.A TikTok clip from Cleanipedia_UK, with an audience of 50,000, divulges a straightforward method for restoring your board to pristine condition.
The account advises its followers that: "Hidden bacteria and odours can linger, but a natural clean with baking soda and lemon can refresh and sanitise your board," reports Leicestershire Live.
