Why should you take the scratches and dents on your kitchen cutting boards seriously?

Have you ever looked carefully at your kitchen cutting boards? After a while of use, they become full of scratches and dents!

Some claim that these scratches and dents can be a place for germs to accumulate, because food stuff can get stuck in such scratches and dents, resisting to removal even by washing, and they constitute a perfect environment for germs to grow!

We want to investigate this claim to see whether or not the old cutting boards are a threat to our health?

What we found could probably surprise you, these scratches and dents were full of dirt!

What should we do now? To clean the kitchen boards, we need first to wash them using hot water and dishwashing liquid and a soft brush. Then disinfecting them with vinegar is the next step. In a last measure, we should spray vinegar on the board and let them wait for 10 minutes, rinsing again and dry.
