Best way of cleaning wooden chopping boards?

I have a lovely wooden chopping board. Only used for fruit / veg / bread / other inoffensive stuff. I usually give it a scrub with hot soapy water and leave to dry. Is this enough or are there other more thorough or more clever ways of cleaning wooden boards?

Scrub it and oil it to stop it cracking.

Spent years scalding my wooden chopping board with just-boiled water from kettle, scrubbing with washing up liq and vinegar and rinsing and rinsing etc

Now I put wooden boards and spoons in the dishwasher and all they come out really clean. No issues at all. Have had the odd bent wooden spoon but it soon rights itself.

I know this is not recommended but works fine here

Also have a load of plastic boards from Ikea that go in the machine too.

Scrub with hot soapy water, then " set" under cold water. Then put outside on a sunny window sill dry both sides. I have cleaned my wooden boards this way for 45 years.
