Discard the paper towels, then clean and disinfect any soiled surfaces. Thoroughly wash forks, knives, plates, platters, and containers. Select and use cutting boards carefully. They can harbor bacteria in cracks and grooves caused by knives. Choose a smooth, durable and nonabsorbent surface.
Plastic is less porous than wood, making it less likely to harbor bacteria, and easier to clean.
Wash your board with hot soapy water, and scrub brush to remove food and dirt particles. Remember to use only approved disinfectants and sanitizes.
