A stainless steel chopping board is one of the most hygienic and durable kitchen tools you can own — but like any surface, it still needs regular cleaning to stay in top condition. The good news? Cleaning stainless steel is quick, simple, and requires no special maintenance.
At Mom's Craft, we believe kitchen tools should make your life easier — not harder. That’s why we’ve put together this easy guide on how to clean your stainless steel chopping board the right way.
Why Stainless Steel Is So Easy to Clean
Stainless steel is non-porous, meaning it doesn’t absorb food particles, juices, or bacteria. Unlike wood or plastic boards, it doesn’t get stained, scratched, or warped easily — which means it:
-
Resists cross-contamination
-
Doesn’t retain odors
-
Requires no oiling or deep scrubbing like wood requires
How to Clean a Stainless Steel Chopping Board
Daily Cleaning (After Every Use)
-
Rinse the board under warm water to remove food debris.
-
Apply dish soap with a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
-
Scrub gently in the direction of the steel grain if visible.
-
Rinse again with clean water.
-
Dry immediately with a soft towel to prevent water spots.
Tip: Avoid steel wool or abrasive pads — they can scratch the surface over time.
Deep Cleaning (Once a Week or As Needed)
If your board feels greasy or has been used to prep raw meat, give it a deeper clean:
-
Sprinkle baking soda on the surface.
-
Spray white vinegar over the baking soda.
-
Let it fizz for 2–3 minutes.
-
Scrub gently with a soft sponge.
-
Rinse thoroughly and dry.
This natural combo removes:
-
Odors
-
Bacteria
-
Grease or oil buildup
Dishwasher Safe?
Yes! Mom's Craft stainless steel chopping boards are 100% dishwasher safe.
Use the top rack if possible, and remove promptly after the cycle to dry completely.
What to Avoid
-
Don’t use bleach: It can damage the steel finish over time.
-
Don’t leave it soaking for long periods — always dry it after washing.
-
Don’t use harsh abrasives that can scratch the surface.
Bonus Tip: Remove Water Spots or Fingerprints
Want that like-new shine?
-
Rub a few drops of olive oil on the board using a microfiber cloth.
-
Buff in a circular motion.
-
Wipe off any excess with a clean cloth.
This keeps your board looking fresh and fingerprint-free — especially if you use it for serving.
