- 1). Wash the cutting board in hot, soapy water, and rinse. Use a fresh sponge dipped in white vinegar, and wipe the entire surface of the board. Allow to dry naturally.
- 2). Sprinkle coarse salt (rock or sea) over the surface of the board. Fold a paper towel into quarters, and scrub the surface of the board with the salt. Let the board rest for 10 minutes and repeat. The salt will scrub the board and absorb some odors at the same time.
- 3). Saturate a paper towel with lemon juice and wipe the board, working with the grain. The lemon juice will neutralize surface odors.
- 4). Sand the cutting board smooth using 300-grit sandpaper. Wipe with mineral spirits to remove the dust. Apply a paste of baking soda and water to the board, and allow it to sit for 30 minutes. Rinse in warm water and allow to dry.
- 5). Refinish the surface of the cutting board by applying several coats of mineral oil or Tung oil using a soft cloth and working with the grain of the board. Let the finish coats dry thoroughly before applying the next coat, and allow the board to dry completely before using for food preparation.
