How to get black stains out of cutting board.?

Question

I have started using a white cutting board six months back and it has started showing some balck stains on it, I dont know what it is and I have tried cleaning it a lot, can anyone give an idea about how to remove the stains.

Will the bleach not have any harmful effects on the foods I will cut on that board next time.....is it safe to use bleach.

Answer 1

what type of cutting board?

Plastic? Throw into a dishwasher... or use a bleach solution.

Answer 2

You might have some black mold on your cutting board. You can try to bleach it out, but your best bet is to buy a new cutting board. Look for the word "antimicrobial" on the packaging. A lot of new cutting boards have this feature. Make sure to clean the cutting board thouroughly after each use (use bleach after raw meats) and dry completely before putting it away. Good luck!

Answer 3

Bleach.

Answer 4

Dampen the cutting board and pore salt on it.. let the salt sit for a few hours.. then wash off..
That's also good for taking cool aid stains out of counter tops..

Give it a try..
