Mostly lemon (or any citrus) acts as a deodorizer, its acidity is far to low to
do much in the way of 'bleaching' (remove staining) or sanitizing. Rubbing
with plain old salt does more to sanitize and 'bleach' than citrus or
vinegar... but easiest way to sanitize/deodorize/'bleach' is by washing with
detergent and then placing the board in direct sunlight (ultraviolet exposure).
