If you love hosting special dinners from comfort of your own home, chances are you have used a cutting board for food prep more than a few times. But then, something unexpected happens: you’re in the middle of opening that bottle of sparkling wine and some of it ends up spilling onto your wooden cutting board! It can be an embarrassing moment – but don’t worry, these spills are easier to clean than you think.
Once you realize sparkling wine has spilled onto your cutting board, be sure to wipe it off immediately using a dry towel. This will soak up as much of the liquid as possible and prevent stain from setting into the wood.
If the stain is still visible, it can be removed with a combination of baking soda and lemon juice. Mix these two ingredients together until they form a paste, then apply it to the stain. Let this sit for 10-15 minutes before wiping it away with a clean cloth. You should see the stain lift right off!
Once all of the stain has been removed, rinse the cutting board with warm water and dry it with a clean towel. Make sure it is completely dry before storing away or using it again.
Never do laundry again. Save time for things you ❤️
