If you were asked what part of your home harbours more germs, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't think of your kitchen.

Well, research has it that your kitchen sink and cutting board harbours more germs than your toilet seat cover.

Funny right? Yeah I know.
It retains so much germs, which is why you have to pay close attention to it.

These are few things you should know about using your cutting board:

1. What kind of cutting board do you use?
Wood? Glass? Silicone? Plastic? Wooden boards retain more moisture hence more germs. So you might want to opt for either of the other three. If you cant be careful with glass, silicone and plastic are better options

2. Never use the same board for all your cuttings. Have a separate board for raw foods, cooked foods and veggies.

3. Always wash your boards with warm water after use. Don't just rinse & dump them. Leave them to dry after washing before putting them back in position

4. If your board has a handle, hang it instead of putting it in a damp drawer with other utensils.
You can create a hole, attach a rope to hang it somewhere in your kitchen.

Kitchen hygiene is of extreme importance to your health, and your cutting boards is sure one of the most important parts of it.

Remember, Health is Wealth.
