Cool tips! :-)

For mine, I just scrub it off with warm soapy water from the dishpan
every time I'm done using it and set it upright to dry.

When it starts getting dark or stained, I spread lemon juice over the
board and let it sit for awhile, then wash/rinse as usual. I've found
that lemon juice bleaches it nicely without damaging the wood.

I guess the salt might be a better sanitizer tho'?
