Your cutting board could be harboring harmful bacteria – this is how I keep mine clean and germ-free

Two images of cutting boards, wooden boards and a wood and marble circular board.

I own dozens of cutting boards in various shapes, sizes, and styles. Whether I'm chopping veggies, slicing meats, or preparing charcuterie, my boards work hard, and I'd be lost without them.

However, constant contact with food and liquids can make it difficult to keep cutting boards in top shape and free from harmful bacteria or mold. To ensure my boards stay hygienic and last for years, I make sure they are cleaned and cared for regularly.
