For example, every time you buy a new item, make sure to throw an old one out \u2013 the same should also apply to your wardrobe! Always make sure to finish a product before buying a new one.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"disinfect-your-cutting-boards\">Disinfect Your Cutting Boards<\/h3>\n<p>We regularly wash our wooden cutting boards by rinsing them with warm water and soap. Once it is used for cutting meat, poultry, or raw fish, however, you need a stronger, antibacterial cleaner. You can make your own disinfectant cleaner by mixing baking soda and water until you get a thick paste, which you will then use to scrub the board. Wait 15 minutes before rinsing, and sprinkle with salt. Finally, once the cutting board has completely dried, use a brush to remove the salt and it is ready to use again.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1594187\" src=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cleaning-wood-cutting-board-in-kitchen-sink-royalty-free-image-158334053472-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cleaning-wood-cutting-board-in-kitchen-sink-royalty-free-image-158334053472-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cleaning-wood-cutting-board-in-kitchen-sink-royalty-free-image-158334053472-1160x774.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cleaning-wood-cutting-board-in-kitchen-sink-royalty-free-image-158334053472-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cleaning-wood-cutting-board-in-kitchen-sink-royalty-free-image-158334053472-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cleaning-wood-cutting-board-in-kitchen-sink-royalty-free-image-158334053472-320x214.jpg 320w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cleaning-wood-cutting-board-in-kitchen-sink-royalty-free-image-158334053472-560x374.jpg 560w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cleaning-wood-cutting-board-in-kitchen-sink-royalty-free-image-158334053472-1920x1281.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/cleaning-wood-cutting-board-in-kitchen-sink-royalty-free-image-158334053472-scaled.jpg 2560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"protect-your-pans\">Protect Your Pans<\/h3>\n<p>If you keep your non-stick pans stacked one on top of the another when not in use, make sure to prevent the cooking surfaces from being scratched.
