How do you clean a pampered chef cutting board?

Pampered Chef recommends these cleaning methods for their cutting boards:

For Everyday Cleaning:

1. Wash: Immediately after use, hand wash the board with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or brush.

2. Rinse: Rinse the board thoroughly with clean water.

3. Dry: Dry the board completely with a clean towel or allow it to air dry.

For Deeper Cleaning:

1. Baking Soda Paste: Mix a paste of baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the cutting board and scrub gently. Rinse thoroughly.

2. White Vinegar Solution: Mix equal parts white vinegar and water. Apply the solution to the board and let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse thoroughly.

Important Notes:

* Avoid dishwashers: Pampered Chef cutting boards are not dishwasher safe, as the heat can warp or damage the board.

* Avoid harsh chemicals: Avoid using harsh chemicals like bleach or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the surface of the board.

* Oil your board: To keep your Pampered Chef cutting board in good condition, oil it regularly with mineral oil. Apply a thin layer of oil and let it sit for a few minutes. Then wipe off the excess oil.

* Clean immediately: Clean your board immediately after use to prevent bacteria from growing.

Specific Board Care:

* Bamboo boards: Bamboo boards are naturally resistant to bacteria. However, they can be prone to cracking if they are not dried properly.

* Wooden boards: Wooden boards need to be oiled more frequently than bamboo boards.

* Plastic boards: Plastic boards are the easiest to clean, but they can scratch easily.

By following these simple cleaning tips, you can keep your Pampered Chef cutting board looking and performing its best for years to come.
