Surprising Cleaning Hack: Use Lemon to Naturally Brighten and Deodorize Your Cutting Boards!

How to do it:

1. Sprinkle a generous amount of coarse salt or baking soda over the surface of your cutting board. These act as gentle scrubbing agents to help remove stains without scratching.

2. Cut a lemon in half and use the cut side to scrub the salt into the board’s surface. As you scrub, squeeze the lemon gently to release its juice. The combination of lemon juice and salt works like a natural abrasive cleaner.

3. Let the lemon and salt mixture sit on the board for about 5 to 10 minutes. This gives the acid time to break down stains and neutralize odors.

4. Rinse the board thoroughly with warm water and dry it well with a clean towel.

Bonus: For extra freshness, repeat this process once a month to keep your cutting boards in top shape and smelling wonderful!
