Steps for Cleaning Hairspray Stains
- Mix 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap with 1 cup of warm water and scrub the stained area of the cutting board with a cloth or sponge.
- If stain persists, sprinkle baking soda onto the area and scrub it in with a brush, then rinse off with warm water.
- If the hairspray is still visible, mix 1 tablespoon of white vinegar, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 1 cup of warm water. Soak a clean cloth in the mixture and rub it over affected area. Allow it to sit for 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
- If the stain is still visible, mix 1 cup of bleach with 2 gallons of warm water and submerge the stained area in the mixture for one hour. Rinse thoroughly with warm water when done.
Preventative Tips
- Regularly clean and sanitize your cutting boards with warm soapy water.
- To sanitize your cutting boards, wipe down the surface with a solution of 1 tablespoon of bleach per 1 gallon of warm water.
- Cutting boards made out of wood require more maintenance than plastic boards, as they can easily absorb liquid, including cleaning solutions.
- Stains caused by colored foods (berries, tomatoes, etc.) can be removed by rubbing them with a lemon wedge and then rinsing with warm water.
