How Often Do You Clean Your Cutting Boards?

Cutting boards are prone to have lots of germs adhere onto their surface due to direct contact with food ingredients. As you can see from the figure below, the number of germs multiplies at an accelerated rate when left unattended. This is especially prominent with raw food ingredients being handled and served. It is recommended to wash cutting boards thoroughly with detergent once every 2 hours.
