Fresh Cutting Boards for Fresh Food
Wooden cutting boards are kitchen staples—but they can also be sneaky culprits for lingering odors and bacteria. If your board’s been through a few garlic-heavy dinners or juicy meat preps, it might be time for a refresh. Luckily, there’s a simple, natural trick that’s been making waves on Instagram: lemon and salt.
Why Lemon & Salt Work Wonders
Lemon is naturally antibacterial and packed with citric acid, which helps break down grime and kill germs.
Salt acts as a gentle abrasive, scrubbing away stains and odors without damaging the wood.
How to Use It
Sprinkle coarse salt (like kosher or sea salt) generously over the board.
Cut a lemon in half and use the cut side to scrub the salt into the board.
Let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly.
Your board will look brighter, smell fresher, and feel ready for your next culinary adventure.
