Deep-clean your plastic cutting board

The first step to revitalize your cutting board is to clean thoroughly. Start by rinsing it with hot water and mild soap. Use a soft brush to remove stubborn residue. You can also sprinkle a little baking soda on the surface and gently scrub with a damp cloth. Baking soda is an excellent natural degreaser that will help remove odors.

Disinfect with white vinegar

Once the cutting board is well rinsed, spray a little white vinegar on it. Vinegar has antiseptic properties that will let you disinfect your cutting board thoroughly. Let sit for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Your cutting board will now be perfectly sanitized.

Protecting your plastic cutting board with oil

To refresh your cutting board, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil over the entire surface. The oil will soak into the plastic and nourish it, making it smoother and more scratch resistant. You can use olive oil, coconut oil, or even linseed oil. Let it sit for a few hours, then wipe away the excess with a dry cloth.
