A great residential and commercial kitchen disinfectant for food preparation areas and utensils is Food San from Cleaning Warehouse. This colour- and fragrance-free, food-safe and QAC-based disinfectant detergent prevents food contamination.

Did you know?

Over time, cutting boards can develop deep grooves and scratches made by knives. These crevices provide an environment where salmonella and e-coli can thrive in, making it difficult to remove through regular cleaning. This is why many studies have shown that a cutting board used for raw meat and fish could easily be up to 200 times dirtier than a toilet seat.

A hot, soapy wash alone won’t do the trick unfortunately.

How to clean cutting boards properly: 

Step 1: Remove any food residue: Use a spatula or scraper to remove any large food particles from the cutting board. Dispose of the debris in the trash or compost.

Step 2: Wash with hot, soapy water: Place the cutting board under running hot water. Apply a small amount of dish soap or a mild detergent directly onto the board. Use a scrub brush or sponge to scrub the entire surface, including the edges and corners.

Step 3: Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the cutting board with hot water.

Step 4: Sanitise and disinfect the cutting board with a detergent like Food San.
