Hi everyone, Tim here from Chasing Pristine with another tip while home cleaning 

Cleaning your kitchen knife block is an essential task that should be done regularly to maintain a hygienic and safe cooking environment. Over time, dirt, dust, and food particles can accumulate in the knife slots of the block, making it a breeding ground for bacteria and germs. Additionally, any moisture or humidity in the kitchen can cause the growth of mould and mildew inside the block, which can also contaminate your knives.

Follow these steps to effectively clean your kitchen knife block:

1. Empty the Knife Slots: The first step in cleaning your knife block is to remove all the knives from their slots. This will give you better access to clean the slots thoroughly and prevent any accidents while cleaning.

2. Scrub the Slots: Using a small brush or a toothbrush, scrub the slots of the knife block to remove any debris or build-up. You can also use a mixture of warm water and dish soap to help loosen any stubborn food particles.

3. Rinse with Warm Water: After scrubbing, rinse the slots with warm water to remove any soap residue or remaining debris.

4. Disinfect: To kill any germs or bacteria, use a disinfectant spray or wipe to clean the slots thoroughly. Make sure to follow the instructions on the disinfectant product for the appropriate amount of contact time before wiping it off.

5. Dry Thoroughly: After disinfecting, make sure to dry the slots completely using a clean towel or paper towel. Any moisture left inside the slots can cause mould and mildew growth.

6. Wipe Down the Exterior: Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior of the knife block, including any crevices or corners where dirt and dust may have accumulated.

7. Air Dry: Allow the knife block to air dry completely before putting the knives back into their slots. This will prevent any moisture from getting trapped inside.

We hope this has helped
