A little Hello from my kitchen today and some all natural cleaning solutions. My favorite kitchen tool has to be my wood cutting board – it gets a workout every day for almost every meal.

To keep a classic wood cutting board in good shape, here’s how you should clean and care for it in a all natural toxic free way. STEP 1: CLEANMostly it's ok to just wipe the cutting board clean with a damp cloth - no soap or cleaning products needed.
