The best way to tackle a paint stain on your cutting board is to use a combination of items that you likely already have in your kitchen. The process is slightly different for boards made of different materials, so let’s dive into ways to remove paint from wood, glass, and plastic boards.

Wooden Cutting Boards

For wooden cutting boards, the easiest and most effective way to remove paint is to mix equal parts baking soda and dish soap together, and then apply it directly to the stained area. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes before scrubbing the area with a soft cloth or sponge. Then, rinse the board with warm water and re-apply baking soda and dish soap mixture if necessary.

Glass and Plastic Cutting Boards

For glass and plastic cutting boards, try using a cleaner specifically designed for removing paint. Apply the cleaner directly to the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes before wiping it off with a damp cloth. Repeat the process if necessary until the stain is removed. Afterward, wash the board with warm, soapy water.

Lastly, no matter what type of cutting board you're dealing with, be sure to use caution and work slowly when trying to clean paint stains. If you scrub too hard, you could cause additional damage to the board. For stubborn paint stains, it may be better to just replace board, as cleaning can potentially ruin the surface.
