As the title says, it's a stupid question, but I over-think things sometimes
When using carbon blades, I usually just wash it if I have a long enough break in prep that it may be an issue. For example, I cut up onions, put the blade down, go grab and peel the carrots, then dice the carrots, put down the blade, go grab the celery, dice the celery, wash blade. That said, I did see a touch of color (orange) on my Fuji FM, so I think I need a bit better routine.
I know some people talk about wiping down the blade after every cut with the basis of that their being a folded towel sitting beside the board for the purpose. Somewhere I'd seen a comment about the towel being "damp".
So how often do you wipe down your blade? What is your routine?
I suspect the answers will be different from home vs pro and the type of carbon, but I just curious what people do.
