Step 1: Dispose of any solids
The first step in cleaning and sanitizing a cutting board is to get rid of any solid matter that may be on the surface. Using a paper towel or gloves, pick up and dispose of any solid matter in the garbage.
Step 2: Rinse off any excess liquid
Next, rinse your cutting board with warm water to remove any excess liquid, such as urine. Pay close attention to corners and crevices, as this will help to prevent future staining.
Step 3: Sanitize the surface
Once the board is free of solids and liquid, it’s time to sanitize. A combination of bleach and water in a 1:9 ratio can be used to sanitize the cutting board. Make sure to use a non-abrasive sponge to scrub the cutting board in circular motions. After you are done scrubbing, rinse off the board with warm water.
Step 4: Dry the board and store correctly
Finally, make sure to thoroughly dry the board with a paper towel before storing. As an extra precaution, store the board upright in a dry area after each use.
