Just clean it normally. Wood is naturally and continually antiseptic

Sweet, so I don't need to bleach it or wash it with any specific cleaners, just hot water right?

I bought a wooden board after I saw a TV prog about plastic harbouring germs. It advised to wash in ordinary washing up water and that's what I do. I hope that helps.

I spray mine with bleach from one of those spray bottles...then hot rinse following morning .....

I reserve a board for chopping onions or anything strong smelling, it takes ages to get the smell out of a wooden chopping board.

I wouldn't put bleach anywhere near anything that I use for food preparation

A good hot rinse ....no problems !

Some woods will taint food, so choose sycamore or beech, if you hav'nt bought one yet,as they will leave no odors.
I wash mine with the dishes etc, with an anti bacterial washing up liquid.

A good little nail brush is handy in keeping a wooden board clean. Scrub along the grain with hot water and rinse off, though if you use a chinese cleaver scub along the cuts as well.

Don't put bleach on it, not if you're going to prepare food on it, nooooo.

Agree on keeping the bleach off, unless you like your poached chicken extra white.

No, hot water - as in boiling water, a good scrub down the grain and bingo. And you can have three boards, one for meat, one for dish and a veg/fruit one.

Be extravagant, you know that you deserve it.
