Wood vs Plastic

It has been reported that it's easier to recover live bacteria from a plastic cutting board than from one made of wood. This because through the capillary action of dry wood, germs quickly disappear beneath the surface of the board, leaving the exposed area free of microbes. In contrast, bacteria sit on the hard plastic cutting board surface, ready to attack the next food item. Also, hand scrubbing with hot water and soap can clear microbes from the surface of new or used wooden cutting boards and new plastic ones, but knife-scared plastic boards are resistant to decontamination by hand washing.

 Here's how to keep your Wooden Board clean.  

 1.  Wipe down the board with hot soapy water and vinegar.
