Brilio.net - Cutting boards function as a base for cutting food, available in wood and plastic. Wooden cutting boards are often the choice because they are lighter and cheaper. However, plastic cutting boards can also become dirty due to frequent use. The surface that was originally clean can turn black and full of knife scratches.
Some people smear toothpaste all over their cutting boards to remove dirt and stains. While effective, this method requires a lot of toothpaste and requires washing the board several times to remove the toothpaste smell. Alternatively, there are other ways to clean dirty cutting boards, as shared by YouTube user ResepMasakan13.
At the beginning of the video, he shows the appearance of his plastic cutting board which looks dirty. Not only stains, but the surface of the cutting board is also covered in knife scratches.
Quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Yenny Senjaya on Sunday (18/6), to clean it, place the cutting board on a flat surface. So that the cleaning solution does not splash, this netizen deliberately put a newspaper as a base.

Without having to wet it first, immediately pour enough vinegar onto the cutting board. Instead of using a sponge, this netizen uses a slice of lemon to scrub the surface of the cutting board.

The use of lemon is believed to be effective in removing all stains on the surface of the cutting board. Reported from thespruce.com, the citric acid content in lemon can remove water stains and grease residue on kitchen utensils.
Rub it slowly and thoroughly, OK? Over time, the black stains on the surface of the cutting board fade.

In addition to rubbing repeatedly, this netizen also uses a knife to scrape the surface of the cutting board. This process aims to remove the remaining fat and dirt that has caked on the cutting board.
"It's quicker to clean if you scrape it with a knife like this," he said.
