CLEANING is a part of life.
But there is a right way and a wrong way and we’re here to tell you that you have been cleaning your chopping board the wrong way.
Wood can be a breeding ground for bacteria and it soaks up juices.
That’s why they are easily stained.
This can be particularly dangerous when you only have a chopping board for different food.
Items such as raw meat when mixed with other foods can easily spread bacteria.
