Antimicrobial Cutting Boards
Cutting boards are constantly exposed to germs from foodstuffs. In order to keep it hygienic, it is essential to frequently sterilize it.
For plastic cutting boards, in addition to cleaning with a mild detergent, bleaching and alcohol disinfection are effective.
Many wooden cutting boards are inherently antibacterial, but it is best to take care of them frequently. First of all, the fact that they are heat-resistant and can be disinfected with boiling water is a big advantage.
In addition, smearing lemon juice on the surface is also expected to have a certain effect. Wooden cutting boards can also be sprayed with alcohol, so it is advisable to rinse them with water each time food is cut, wipe them well, and spray them with the spray. However, bleach cannot be used because it weakens the wood's antibacterial properties.
