⸻ 🧽 How to Clean Your Cutting Board with Bleach 🧼 What You’ll Need: • Bleach (regular household bleach, around 5.25% sodium hypochlorite) • Water • Sponge or brush • Cleaning gloves (optional) • Clean cloth or paper towels ⸻ ✅ Steps: 1. Wash the board first: • Use hot, soapy water and a sponge or brush. • Scrub off any food particles or grease. 2. Rinse thoroughly: • Rinse off all the soap with clean water. 3. Prepare a bleach solution: • Mix 1 tablespoon of bleach (about 15 ml) with 1 liter (or quart) of water. 4. Apply the solution: • You can either soak the board in the solution or wipe it down with a sponge soaked in it. 5. Let it sit: • Allow the solution to sit on the board for 1 to 5 minutes to disinfect properly. 6. Rinse again thoroughly: • Use clean water to rinse off all bleach residue. 7. Dry completely: • Dry with a clean towel or let it air dry standing up. ⸻ ⚠️ Important Tips: • Don’t overuse bleach, especially on wooden cutting boards, as it can damage the material over time. • For wooden boards, using vinegar or hydrogen peroxide is a gentler option. • Never mix bleach with other cleaners (like vinegar or ammonia), as it can create toxic fumes
