White plastic cutting boards are essential in most kitchens. They’re lightweight, durable, and ideal for slicing vegetables, meats, and more. However, one downside is how quickly they can stain and absorb odors. Over time, regular washing may not suffice to keep them looking pristine. But don’t worry! I have a simple cleaning hack from my mom that requires minimal effort and works wonders on dirty white plastic cutting boards.
Why White Plastic Cutting Boards Get Dirty
Before we delve into the cleaning method, let’s understand why these boards get so dirty. The porous surface of plastic cutting boards can absorb food juices, oils, and dyes, especially from items like tomatoes, carrots, turmeric, and beets. Even with regular soap and water, stubborn stains can linger. If not cleaned properly, bacteria and odors can also develop, making the board unhygienic.
The Trick My Mom Taught Me
The cleaning method my mom taught me is incredibly simple and involves everyday household items you likely have in your kitchen. Best of all, it doesn’t require any scrubbing or expensive cleaning products. Here’s what you’ll need:
Baking Soda: A natural cleaning agent that helps lift stains and deodorizes.
Hydrogen Peroxide: An antiseptic that kills bacteria and removes stains without harsh chemicals.
Dish Soap: Effective at cutting through grease and food residue.
