I'd imagine it would be relatively safe once you have implemented those
measures you speak of.
Bleach kills just about everything! including the HIV virus believe it or
not.

Hello,

I may have a chance to get some old butcher block that's being removed
from
a restaurant remodel. The plan is to use it for a workbench top. Any
reason
to be concerned about it from a health standpoint, considering how it has
been used? My thought was to scrub it down with a water and bleach
solution,
then have it planed in order to both clean and true it up. Any comments or
suggestions?

Thanks in advance to those who post a reply.

Peter.
