Brilio.net - Chopping boards or cutting boards function as a base for cutting food. Some are made of wood or plastic. However, because they are lighter and cheaper, plastic cutting boards are usually the choice of many people.
Unfortunately, plastic cutting boards get dirty because they are used often. The surface of the cutting board that was once clean can turn black and full of knife scratches.
Seeing that the cutting board is dirty, some people deliberately smear toothpaste all over its surface. Toothpaste can function to remove dirt and stains that stick.
Although proven effective, you need a lot of toothpaste. Not to mention, you have to wash the cutting board several times to get rid of the toothpaste smell.
To get around this, there is another way you can imitate to wash a dirty cutting board. This method was shared by YouTube user ResepMasakan13.
