Finally somebody is listening how it's done. Thank you says the Carpenter

Important that the board is fully dry before adding the oil (like dry it overnight to make sure there's no water) because sealing in water is not a good idea.

This cutting board's Skincare routine is amazing

That cutting board has a better bath routine than I do

You can also add some wax along with the oil! I like to oil/wax whenever the board looks dry! You can also sand the board as needed if there is a lot of knife wear and tear!

mixing lemon and baking soda literally is just as effective as using salt alone. it looks like it does something because you get the fizz but that's just the acid and the base neutralizing each other

So glad to hear someone else uses soap and water!

Me... starring at all my cutting boards like they're gonna clean themselves. 👀

So glad you made this video! Yes!!! Mineral oil, NOT vegetable oil which turns rancid!! 👍😘👏

Thank you for a sneaky peak into your maintenance! That's the hardest part still, it never ends 😭🙌

Excellent tips a couple people made some comments that probably shouldn't even have knifes let alone a cutting board.

I just bought myself a bamboo board after my plastic one just obtained too many scratches and got this weird curve to it that made it twirl on the counter when I tried to cut on it, and I loooove my wooden one compared so far!!

I have used wooden cutting boards but I have just learned how to properly clean one. Thank you!

Had to say. I'm obsessed with your variety of 👕

I love seeing skillful people around the house and kitchen! ❤

Thank you! Only thing I would add, just make sure the mineral oil used properly displays/states, food safe.

That's A LUCKY, WELL LOVED CHOPPING BOARD!!!

Gotta use this method! Thank you! ☺️

The baking soda and lemon cancel eachother out… you just scrubbed it down with salt basically 😂

Wow..tq for the tips... Really need to apply this to my cutting board

My cutting board is definitely neglected!!

Adding lemon and baking soda is as good as using straight water. Its neutralizing any effect it could have, as if lemon or vinegar actually sanitized in mere seconds anyway lol.

My grandmother was taught as a child (1898) was taught to scrub it with wood ash and hay. The same things that make lye. ( caustic ) . And then rinse.

Just so you know mixing an acid and a basic, such as lemon juice and baking soda neutralize each other so you're basically cleaning with water

I just came to the comments to see how many people complain about her excellent advice. And mineral oil is a great way to keep butcher blocks and wood cutting boards from drying out or cracking.

Thank you. I needed to learn this!

I am loving your videos. I would love them even more if you would add some written instructions and recipes!

Nice job. Thanks for showing👍

Did a good job of neutralising baking powder with lemon. 😂😅

Well that board does need extra love, yk since it's the main character of this channel

Should you wait until the board is dry before adding mineral oil so you don’t lock in any moisture since trapped moisture can lead to mold ???

Thank You dear for showing us!!

Good tips! But I feel like you would become VERY aware of any cuts on your hands while scrubbing

My Tesco wooden chopping block that just gets put in the dishwasher every week will be wanting this luxury if it sees this.

It's useful showing how to do this. I really wanted to know how to properly do it.

Thanks for this, in getting a board for Christmas, so this is good to know

Good job. Absolutely perfect.

Ive decided I will never own a wooden cutting board.

Great job 👍

the bigfoot shirt is an essential part of this process

Dang I just use detergent and lemon after. I never thought of the oil either

This makes me happy!

I love this wow ! I would do this after cutting chicken to cleanse it really well . Thank you !

Lemon and baking soda neutralize each other, it doesn’t do jack. Chemically it just doesn’t make sense

I'm just setting mine up the right way, I'm going to sand it down with like 400grit . Then I bought a kit for butcher block on Amazon , it's essentially mineral oil & some other oils mixed together & then a wax oil sealant step.. I hope it turns out good 🙂 I redid a butcher block top & it turned out pretty good .. For my first time ☺️👍🏻

We as men really need this kinda women !!!

Very impressive!

The chopping board has a better skin routine than I do 😭

Mineral Oil? 🤔

Wonderful. Thanks 👍

So useful tip heilie

Thank you! Love your kitchen. ❤️

Wunderbar❤. I’ll incorporate that into my routines. Merry Xmassy🎄🎁

You deserve an award for this 👏

Lemon and vinegar are the best non toxic cleaners out there. Plus, the scent of lemons is intoxicating.

Nice! Thank you ❤️

that appears to be baking powder, not baking soda. Note little reaction to the vinegar, soda will instantly begin foaming🤔.

Very nice video 📹 👍

3 things kill germs in majority of circumstances. *UV light aka sunshine*. (you can get products that create this but letting things dry in direct sun in the highest uv of the day is the best and free) *Extreme Heat (or cold in some cases) via boiling* (cant do this for wood) you can often sanitise things in boiling water or in high temp ovens again no point. and *friction* (why we scrub our hands and dont just dip them in soapy water - scrubbing is what does most of germ killing the hot water and soap help that process) another is alcohol. which kills most things. vinegar would fall in this category. the natural properties of wood mean that bacteria cant live in it. unless of course you damage the wood. sometimes less is more. try to give a light non abrasive clean to wood after each use and let fully dry ideally in the sun. if it needs it when bone dry (you can pop it in the oven on low for 30mins to dehydrate it and make sure if youre somewhere humid or its winter or something) oil it. linseed or flaxseed same thing different name food is call flax the woodwork kind is lin ssme product different safety standards usually. so you can use food grade oil nut and other wood based oils are better like walnut chopping board walnut oil etc but try use linseed. if you cant find info about chopping boards look at taking care of a cricket bat. just be mindful to check the methods or products are safe for human food related stuff but the oremise is the same wood that gets wear and tear and needs maitenence. if you think of the board more like your skin and treat it as such you wont be prone to hurting it. treat it gently let it do its job just support it. rule of thumb is have multiple boards so youve got no cross contamination. and make sure the knife is sharp because using a dull knife means youll chop harder and damage the board and probably yourself. like shaving with a dull blade hurts your skin but a sharp one glides over. dont put wood in water unless you want driftwood. have a sponge with hot water swueeze out as much water as you can and then wipe that over to remove any visible food etc do this as soon as you finish chopping and even better between foods if doinf multiples as wood does stain and it absorbs odours and colours. things like green veg or herbs etc so if you have domething very juicy potent etc try cut it with kitchen scissors before using the chopping board or quickly clean up and then apply some white vinegar over the board so that it doesnt allow any smells or stains. if you have wooden furniture its much the same concepts. it will often move in extreme temperatures or even crack it needs oiling when it starts to dry not before you can sand it but really it should be once every 5 to 10 years depending on use and using it well shouldnt cause a lot of wear and tear and while i wouldnt rec dish soap for various reasons a mild acid and the sun is far better for sanitising. also be carfeul what type of wood you choose and what stains etc are already applied to it AND glues etc as some are not food safe and often are meant for decoration and made poorly in china or with toxic woods and should not be used at all. if you buy one conside it an investment that will last 10 years minimum get a large one like bigger than an oven tray and make sure its sturdy like atlas thick not a placemat. there should be any knots and it should be a solid piece of wood not lots glued together. avoid ones with wounds as it feet drilled into it or other hardware as that damgages the wound and introduces a place for bacteria to get in. if you have the luxury of buying a uv sanitiser/sterilser often a small cupboard appliance that is used for baby bottles then you can use that for peace of mind for majority of things including the wood but frankly the sun is better and most food will be cooked or wont have people killing bacteria on it anyway. i personally get meat pre cut at the butchers or cut it on the packaging it came in so i never cut it on my boards but you can buy butchers blocks for just meat and ask your local butcher what they clean and sterilise with. frankly even if your wooden boards arent sterilised theyll still be cleaner and safer than a plastic one anyday. so dont stress too much. just dont use wooden tools or shared tools for people with allergies.

i personally wouldn't let my food come in contact with mineral oil but I like the idea of scrubbing with salt!

Its a beautiful board

What type of mineral oil did you use?

Super useful ty

I finally hear your voice for the first time. ❤️😍

The only thing I could think about while watching this is imagine having a paper cut while trying to do this.

Nice cutting board. What brand is it?

Now I know how to clean a brand new cutting board 😂😂

Thanks for sharing

How often do you do that?

This is how I clean glass shower doors.

Thank you

Excellent.

You are amazing

You just made a neutral substance with alkaline and acidic cleaners. You can use one or the other but that was essentially useless

The plastic cutting board works just fine for me, and cleans up in a fraction of that time lol. The food still tastes just the same as whatever you're cooking.

Thanks I never do this. But I will try it. I go through boards like crazy. I prefer the wood boards for everything except raw meat/fish/poultry. For those I use plastic boards only.

You should use more oil or use your hands to massage the oil into the board instead so the kitchen roll doesn’t soak it all up instead of the board, it still looks quite dry and not that well coated, you really need to be liberal with the oil to get a good cost to prevent moisture getting in causing mould to grow and the board to crack

Baking soda and lemon cancel there effect, so you are not actually using non of those due effect. And vinegar and baking soda also cancel there effect if mix, because one is basic and the other is acidic

What’s not enough about cleaning it normally with soap and water? Just curious on what I’m missing 😅

Saving this

I love that shirt sm

👍👌👏oh I love your t-shirt 😊🥰

Nice shirt! I want to believe!!!

Thank you.

Really like you, and your channel. This is how it is done. Easy to tell you're a good egg as well.

Me as a german: Just uses dish soap and water.

Thankyou🙏💯

I love how real, simple and captivating your videos are.

Why was this so satisfying?

Wow thank you for this, it makes so much sense but now I’m wondering if I take the accounts off of my Experian boost will it effect my score 😢

You're terrific 💖❤️

I do the same plus i put it under hot sun to dry completely

No music, no quirkiness, not getting distracted by pets or hair or water in between ,no BS story , no let me show you “my secret trick” . Just simple and clean video by far I have seen on KZfaq lol I get emotional sometimes 😂

Just fyi when you mix and acid like lemon and a base like baking soda you don’t get the effects of either. The baking soda will still scrub but won’t deodorize as well and the lemon juice can’t clean as well either.

I just wash it like I wash the other dishes but I don't submerge it in the water and let it dry out by itself after

How does that wooden board not have any cutting marks ? Am I cutting on my board wrong ? Cause that looks like it has never been used

TSHIRT!!!!🤩👏👏👏

What a good idea

That’s nice

Sweet Pickin’s has food safe oil and wax if you’d prefer.
