Who doesn’t need cutting boards when we do our kitchen work? Cutting boards make our work easier. But after months or years of using our cutting boards will have nicks, scratches and grooves from hundreds and thousands of slices from our knives, and food particles will be deposited in any nicks, scratches or grooves, which transmute into horrid bacteria forming on our cutting boards! Eeeeew!
So we need to clean our cutting boards, right? So, how do you clean your cutting boards? I have a kitchen tip for you that I searched online, I just use lemon in cleaning my cutting boards.
I toss a bit of salt, the salt will act as abrasive cleaning agent, then cut a lemon in half and vigorously scrub my cutting board for several minutes. I let it sit for 20 minutes before rinsing. The acid of the lemon is perfect to remove dirt and stains, also a natural bleach and deodorizer.
Can we use calamansi instead and is there no need to use soap after scrubbing lemon the the cutting board? Just wondering :)
ReplyDeleteI think calamansi would do also since lemon is not so common and readily available here and would be more expensive.
ReplyDeleteagree, pwedeng kalamansi, lemon is expensive
ReplyDeletenice tip
Oo nga, lemon is kind of expensive. can we use vinegar din?i use lemon or kalamansi pala and apply juice on my nails. removes discoloration :)
ReplyDeleteCalamansi or vinegar plus baking soda is okay din. Lemon is expensive but dito sa may market sa amin they are selling it at 10 pesos per piece. Mas mura compared sa mall.

After scrubbing with lemon, you can place this inside the microwave, if you have one with enough space. This will be the antibacterial part of cleaning chopping boards.
ReplyDeleteI use vinegar and baking soda as lemon is not that cheap here too.. haven't tried cleaning boards this way though.
ReplyDeletewow.. thanks for the tip.. i will do this at home..
ReplyDeleteOh cool, thanks for the tip! :) I have this kind of cutting board, too, but because I didn't know how to clean it, I got rid of it, and used the wooden one instead. :)
ReplyDeletegreat tips.. I didn't know that lemon is best use on cleaning chopping board..
ReplyDeleteNice tip! Thanks! This could really help us in the kitchen. Guess what? Kalamansi is more expensive than lemon here! :)
ReplyDeleteoh, kalamansi would also be good here since it is relatively acidic
ReplyDeleteGreat tip! Ngayon ko lang nalaman to. I always use dishwashing soap lang kasi. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNice tip. I think I'll consider calamansi instead of lemon mas mura kasi. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is very helpful! I'll try this out. Maybe I'll just cut a small slice to use in cleaning the cutting board. :D Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeletecool tip! this will help our harassed chopping board. ;(
ReplyDeleteNice! Thanks to this tip, I can now use our chopping board with ease. :)
ReplyDeleteCutting boards are the dirtiest tools in the kitchen because it stores juices of different foods that are usually contaminated. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! But if it has so many nicks, maybe we should change it already!
ReplyDeleteGreat tip! We'll try this instead of just washing with soap and water.
ReplyDeleteIt is a wonderful tool and works all the time... Thanks for the reminder. ;-)
