It is advisable to avoid using chemical detergents to clean the cutting board, because use will ruin the wood over time. Furthermore, since it is an absorbent material, you run the risk of food that comes into contact with the surface smelling like soap immediately after cleaning it . Without a doubt something unhygienic.
Daily cleaning, this is what you can use instead of coarse salt and lemon
Those who want to carry out a less aggressive daily cleaning, and therefore more delicate and faster, can only use fine salt instead of coarse salt. It is certainly more convenient and affordable. It can also be replaced with baking soda, which should always be rubbed directly with your hands.
In the case of both fine salt and bicarbonate, rinse with water, although not in large quantities, to avoid problems later in the drying phase. This is considered the most delicate cleaning remedy of all.
While the one that involves the use of salt and lemon can be applied less frequently, for example once a month, or every time you cook dishes that involve the use of fish or foods that easily leave a bad smell.
