According to Charles Gerba, a microbiologist at the University of Arizona, the average cutting board has 200 times more fecal bacteria than a toilet seat!

Here are 3 tips to keep your board germ-free:

  • Add disinfectant spray to your dish soap when cleaning it.
  • Occasionally put it in the dishwasher.
  • Use different boards for raw and ready-to-eat foods.
