Tiffany, Clorox

Hi! I'm Tiffany. When I'm not chasing my son around for diaper changes, convincing my daughter not to wear goggles to bed, or trying to get unidentified stains out of my kids' clothes, I work in the marketing department at Clorox.

Day 6: Sayonara, Bacterial-laden Cutting Boards

After tackling Max’s high chair and other kitchen surfaces yesterday, I’m inspired to tackle that harborer of bacteria that lives in my kitchen … the dreaded cutting board. 

I have both plastic and wooden boards, and I have to admit that because I can’t put my wood boards into my dishwasher, I never feel like they are “truly” clean. As a result, I have multiple cutting boards:  each for different uses — raw meats, fruits and veggies, baking, etc. I recognize that I must have some sort of cutting board neuroses, so today I decided to make sure my cutting boards were super clean by saying “Adios” to any bacteria living on my cutting boards.

I mixed 3 Tbsp of Clorox® Regular-Bleach with a gallon of water and poured that sanitizing solution of bleach goodness over my cutting board!   Bacteria, you are no longer invited to dinner! I let the cutting board stand for 2 minutes and then I rinsed again with a 1 tbsp of Clorox® Regular-Bleach diluted in another  gallon of water. I didn’t rinse the board this time. I just let it air dry. 

Bon Appétit!

    I love using Clorox in my house. I use it to disinfect my countertops in a spray bottle (diluted), and everywhere else around my house. Nothing smells quite as good as freshly washed clean sheets!

    What a great idea. I've always used Clorox to clean my sinks but I never realized I could use it on my cutting boards too. Thanks.

    Sanitizing cutting boards with Clorox Bleach is a great idea! The other thing I use Clorox for in the kitchen is for bleaching my coffee cups (which tend to look stained). Clorox is the only bleach I buy (probably because it's what my Mother used--tried and true) Thanks for the giveaway.

    I am a bleach person. I love to clean with bleach. I feel safe using it to kill germs. My kitchen is cleaned if not daily every other. I clean cutting boards with it too............

    It's not clean unless it's Clorox Clean. There is nothing like entering the house after I cleaned, the smell is so welcoming, it says," Enter, there are no germs about!"
