Today’s tip is simple: a damp towel will clean off your counters!

Kidding. I mean, a damp towel will clean counter tops half-ass, but that’s not what my damp towel trick is for. My trick comes in handy when you’re chopping away and can’t seem to make that cutting board stand still.

Well, when you’ve got a squirmy cutting board, make it stand still with a damp paper towel! Get the towel wet, wring it out, then place it on the counter with the cutting board on top. It will essentially stick the cutting board in place, leaving you with a stable cutting surface.

Just call me Houdini.
