Cleaning Solutions
Cutting Boards
My Grandmama use to clean her cutting boards by sprinkling on Baking soda and spraying on white vinegar. She would let the bubbles work their magic and then scrub, rinse with HOT water and presto changeo they were clean.
My Grandmama would also clean her cutting boards with lemon and salt. Cut the lemon in half sprinkle board with kosher salt and scrub.
