Cleaning Tips for Bar Boards That Won't Come Out

[Shannen]

I thought the bar boards weren't supposed to stain, but the middle of mine is a beige-ish color that I can't get out. I've tried using hand dish soap before putting it in the dish washer and scrubbing it, but nothing is working. Tips?

Baking soda paste, and let it soak, or a bleach solution.

I've never heard that they aren't supposed to stain....

I use soft scrub with bleach on all my cutting boards.

Also the Mr. Clean magic eraser works well.

I just make sure to rinse my board after use and make sure it hits hot water first...before cold water. I never use chemical on my boards.

They're stain-resistant but not stain-proof. A paste of lemon and baking soda usually works well for me.

You can rub lemon juice on it and leave it in the sun for a day or two. I did this with a white tupperware bowl that had been stained with something, I don't even know what, and it worked like a charm. I think that is what tupperware used to recommend, but it has been forever since I bought anything from them!!

Thanks! I'll try the lemon and baking soda and try to sun it if that doesn't work (hopefully a bird doesn't poop on it... they tend to like my patio, hehehe). I'm hesitant to use chemicals, personally.
