What product do you use to sanitize your cutting boards?
Question:I want a chemical/product that will wipe out bacteria from raw chicken/meats on my cutting boards etc but not be harmful/toxic to ingest small amounts of (if it touches other foods).
Answers:
Good old chlorine bleach. Clorox makes a great cleaning spray that is easy to use. You can also put a homemade soulution of water and 10 percent bleach in a spray bottle and keep it close by.
After writing this I found a good answer for you online. See the "source".
Tell you what. To be on the safe side,when washing your dishes,use half a capful of bleach on the cutting board,or you can use some real lemon juice.Then rinse off with hot water.
I was told that wood is the safest not plastic so...
I scrub with hot soapy water and then wipe with hydrogen peroxide and rinse thoroughly and then wipe with white vinegar and let air dry thoroughly.
Best bet is to do all the above and have separate cutting boards- one for breads one for vegetables and one for meats.
Use 50 ml Javex to 500 ml water and wash those boards with it.After rinse properly with tap water.You can use Hydrogenperoxid too to disinfect anything.
Very mild bleach water will sanitize and kill harmful bacteria. If you have a restuarant supply store, you can get what is called sanitizer. Its similar to bleach but less toxic.
If you want to avoid using chemicals entirely, use plastic cutting boards and stick them in the dishwasher. This will sanitize them and be the least toxic of the group.
bleach
Change your boards regularly. Once there are grooves from cuts, change the board.
a little bleach solution works, although, it is still best to have two cutting boards, one for raw meats, and the other for anything else.
Bleach!
For chicken and meat I use plastic. I put mine in the dishwasher.
Clorox Bleach and Hot water and dish soap. Rinse well in hot water. I use the plastic cutting sheets and when they start getting icky, I throw them away and buy new ones. (At Wal-Mart they are about 2-3 bucks for 3 sheets.) Mine last 3-4 months. I also use heat resistant cutting boards. I clean them the same way. I use paper towel to dry them so they don't stay wet and attract more germs. I love to cook!
I use a sterilizing solution used for cleaning new born baby´s bottles. I also use it for cleaning the fridge
I use hot water, salt and lemon, I run it under hot water for a while, I put a shyt load of salt on then use the lemon as a scrubber the salt will get stuff out and the lemon cleans. then I wash it again with lots of soap and hot water. its one of those old school remedy's
Clorox bleach wipes work well!! And you dont want to use a wooden cutting board because wood is too porous and will absorb the bacteria more than a plastic one will.
