Introduction

Wooden sharing platter boards are a popular choice for serving food due to their aesthetic appeal and durability. However, they require proper cleaning and maintenance to ensure hygienic usage. This article provides a comprehensive guide on how to clean wooden sharing platter boards effectively.

Importance of Cleaning Wooden Sharing Platter Boards

Cleaning wooden sharing platter boards is crucial to prevent the buildup of bacteria, mold, and food residue which can contaminate food and pose health risks. Proper cleaning also extends the lifespan of the boards, maintaining their quality and appearance.

Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning

1. Rinse Immediately:

   After use, rinse the wooden board with warm water to remove initial food particles.

2. Scrub with Mild Detergent:

   Use a mild detergent mixed in warm water and a soft brush to scrub the board. Avoid soap with harsh chemicals that may damage the wood.

3. Disinfect:

   Prepare a solution of 1 tablespoon of white vinegar per cup of water to disinfect the board. Vinegar's acidity effectively kills bacteria.

4. Dry Immediately:

   Pat the board dry with a clean towel and stand it up or lay it flat to air dry completely. Keeping the board dry prevents warping and bacterial growth.

5. Oil the Board:

   Apply a food-grade mineral oil to the dried board monthly to maintain its moisture and prevent cracking.
