Step-by-Step Guide to Effortlessly Clean Your Cutting Board

Gather Your Supplies: Assemble your baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, and  dish soap. Ensure your  cutting board is dry.
Sprinkle Baking Soda: Lay the board flat and generously sprinkle baking soda over its surface. Its mild abrasiveness helps scrub away stains and neutralizes odors.
Add Hydrogen Peroxide: Pour a small amount of hydrogen peroxide over the baking soda, creating a paste-like consistency. This natural bleaching agent lifts deep stains.
Add Dish Soap: Enhance the cleaning power by adding a few drops of dish soap to cut through grease and oil.
Let It Sit: No scrubbing needed! Allow the mixture to sit for 10-15 minutes to break down stains, kill bacteria, and remove odors.
Rinse Thoroughly: After the time has passed, rinse the cutting board with warm water. Use a sponge or cloth to wipe away any remaining paste, and you’ll see significant stain reduction.
Dry Completely: Finally, dry the board with a clean towel or let it air dry to prevent bacteria or mold growth.
