maintaining wooden cutting boards
In addition to cleaning a wooden cutting board with hot, soapy water immediately after each use, you can get rid of stains by sprinkling the area with table salt and then rubbing it with a lemon wedge; fine sandpaper can remove those that are more set in. After every few washings, polish it lightly with food-safe mineral oil, which creates a nice finish while also fighting cracking.
