Over time the block may need a deep cleaning. To thoroughly clean the block begins scraping the wood. You can use old and a butcher knife. An even better choice is a woodworkers scraper. This flat piece of metal with straight edges will keep the surface of your apartment on board. 

You can also pour vinegar on the surface of the cutting board and soak for approximately five minutes. Finally, rub the block with a paste of lemon juice and salt. In addition to eliminating all bacteria, it also discolors the board of any stains that remain of the cut of meat.
