Lemon Fresh Cutting Boards

​Cutting boards are handy to have in the kitchen but they hang on to odours, no matter how hard you scrub.  It is easy to clean and freshen your chopping boards without having to buy anything special and with just two items you probably have in the kitchen right now.

You will need:
Table salt
1 lemon

Step 1.  Sprinkle your cutting board with salt. Just a light sprinkle over the board, it doesn't have to be thick. You just want enough salt to make step two a little more effective.

Step 2.  Cut your lemon in half (if you haven’t already), put your cutting board flat on the sink or benchtop (I prefer the sink, it catches any mess), and give it a thorough scrubbing for a minute or two. Don’t be afraid to put a little elbow grease into it, you want to clean and freshen this chopping board.

Step 3.  Rinse the lemon and salt off in your kitchen sink under cold water (hot water turns wooden cutting boards yellow and encourages stains and odours to stick to plastic boards), wipe over with a clean tea towel and stand up to let everything dry thoroughly before putting it away.

Can you smell that lemon-fresh scent? It's your nice, fresh chopping board.
