Persistent odors and bacteria can linger on cutting boards long after washing, posing health risks and compromising kitchen hygiene. This article explores how using chlorine dioxide tablets offers a simple, effective method to thoroughly sanitize cutting boards and work surfaces, eliminating odors and harmful pathogens to ensure a safer, cleaner kitchen environment.

Using 1g Envirotab™ Chlorine Dioxide Tablets is a simple, effective way to sanitize cutting boards and work surfaces, banishing odors and harmful bacteria for a safer kitchen.

Nothing takes the brunt of smelly fish, fresh onions, or garlic like a cutting board. You can wash it thoroughly, but stubborn odors often refuse to leave. Even if your board looks clean, odor-causing compounds and bacteria can linger — posing risks for cross-contamination and foodborne illnesses.

Sanitizing your cutting boards after washing with a solution made from 1g Envirotab™ chlorine dioxide tablets dissolved in warm water helps eliminate these residual odors and harmful pathogens, including Salmonella and E. coli. This not only improves kitchen hygiene but also extends the lifespan of your cutting boards by preventing bacteria buildup that can degrade the surface.

How to Prepare Your Sanitizing Solution:

  1. Add 32oz of warm water to an Envirotab secondary trigger sprayer bottle.
  2. Drop in one 1g Envirotab™ tablet and secure the sprayer top.
  3. Wait 1-2 minutes for the tablet to dissolve fully and the gas to equalize in the water.
  4. Store the spray bottle under your sink for easy access.

Simple Steps for a Safer, Fresher Kitchen:

  • Wash cutting boards as usual.
  • Rinse thoroughly.
  • Spray the board liberally with the Envirotab solution.
  • Allow it to air dry before storing or use.

By incorporating this easy sanitizing step, you’ll keep your kitchen surfaces fresh, hygienic, and ready for the next meal prep—no more stubborn smells or bacteria worries!
