Avoid soaking or putting in the dishwasher. Sanitise: Occasionally wipe with white vinegar or a mild bleach solution (1 tsp bleach in 1L water). Dry: Always dry upright to prevent warping or cracking. Oil: Rub food-grade mineral oil or beeswax over the surface every few weeks to keep it from drying out. For Plastic Chopping Boards: Clean: Wash in warm, soapy water or place in the dishwasher (top rack). Sanitise: Use a mix of vinegar or diluted bleach to kill bacteria after prepping raw meat.
