For a deeper cleaning or if you want to clean the Cutting board used for cutting meat, fish or poultry, it is important to disinfect the board as well. Mix a solution of one part white vinegar and four parts water, and wipe the board with this. Vinegar is a natural disinfectant that helps kill bacteria without damaging the wood. Let the solution soak for a few minutes, then rinse the shelf with warm water. Dry the Cutting board immediately with a clean cloth to prevent the wood from absorbing water and warping.
