Brilio.net - Plastic cutting boards are often the main choice in the kitchen because they are lightweight and durable. The plastic material used in these cutting boards makes them easy to lift and move, and are not easily damaged even though they are often used to cut various types of food ingredients. In addition, plastic cutting boards are also relatively cheaper and available in various sizes and colors, making them a practical choice for various cooking needs.
Although plastic cutting boards have many advantages, improper care can cause serious problems, one of which is mold growth. Mold can easily grow on the surface of plastic cutting boards that are damp and often exposed to food debris. If the cutting board is not washed properly after use and stored in a wet state, this condition will create an ideal environment for mold to grow.
The presence of mold on plastic cutting boards not only disrupts the aesthetics and cleanliness of the kitchen, but also has the potential to pose a health risk. Mold can cause cross-contamination of processed foods, and mold spores can trigger allergic reactions or respiratory problems for some people. Therefore, it is important to always wash plastic cutting boards thoroughly and dry them thoroughly before storing them.
In some cases, some people choose to wash their cutting boards with vinegar. This kitchen ingredient is considered to be able to help remove stubborn mold stains on plastic cutting boards. But sometimes, vinegar also leaves a pungent odor that some people don't like.
Instead, you can use a trick from Facebook user Fitri Rahmawati in cleaning moldy plastic cutting boards. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only relying on kitchen ingredients. As reported by BrilioFood on Wednesday (12/17), the ingredients used are baking soda and dish soap.

Well, how to apply these two ingredients is quite easy. You only need to sprinkle baking soda on the surface of the cutting board, then pour enough dish soap. If so, rinse with hot water and soak for about 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, immediately scrub the cutting board using a wire brush. Do this process until the mold stains are completely removed. Then rinse the plastic cutting board using running water. After that, dry it until there is no water left to minimize the appearance of mold again.
