Removing the Stain
- Soak a sponge or a cloth in hot, soapy water.
- Rub stained area with the soapy sponge or cloth.
- Rinse the cutting board with cool water.
- If stain still remains, make a paste from baking soda and water and rub it onto the stained area.
- Let the paste sit for 5-10 minutes, then rinse with cool water.
- If the stain persists, try using a paste made from cream of tartar, salt, and lemon juice. Rub the paste onto the stain and leave it for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with cool water.
- If the stain still remains, try using a solution of vinegar and baking soda. Mix together equal parts white vinegar and baking soda until you have a paste. Rub the paste onto stain and let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing off.
Finishing Touches
- Once the stain is gone, make sure to properly sanitize the cutting board. Use a solution of 1 tablespoon of bleach mixed into 1 gallon of hot water.
- Pour the solution over your cutting board and let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse with cool water afterwards.
- Finally, make sure to dry your cutting board with a clean cloth or paper towel.
