Removing Lipstick Stains From a Plastic Cutting Board

Getting rid of pesky lipstick stains on plastic cutting boards is a breeze. Start by filling a bowl with lukewarm water and mix in a few tablespoons of non-abrasive dish soap with a few drops of vinegar. Soak the cutting board in the solution for up to 20 minutes, and then use a soft sponge or cloth to scrub off any remaining residue. Rinse with cold water and let air-dry.

Removing Lipstick Stains From a Wooden Cutting Board

Wooden cutting boards can be a bit trickier to clean since they're porous, but never fear! Start by sprinkling stained area generously with baking soda. Using a damp cloth, scrub the baking soda into the stain and then rinse the board with warm water. Afterward, add a few drops of lemon juice to the spot and rub it in with a soft cloth. This should remove any remaining lipstick residue from the cutting board.

Preventative Measures to Avoid Lipstick Stains

It's always a good idea to take preventative measures to avoid lipstick stains in the first place. Keep in mind that lipstick stains often occur when someone uses a cutting board for food prep and doesn't immediately clean it off. To avoid this situation, always clean off your cutting board after preparing food and before using it again. Additionally, if your cutting board does get stained, make sure to clean it off as soon as possible.
