Keeping Your White Plastic Cutting Boards Clean

4. Deep Clean with Baking Soda and Vinegar Fizz

For a thorough clean and deodorize:

• Sprinkle baking soda generously over the board.
• Pour white vinegar on top, allowing it to fizz and bubble.
• Scrub with a sponge during the fizzing reaction.
• Rinse and dry.

This powerful combo lifts stains and kills bacteria effectively.

5. Avoid Cross-Contamination

• Use separate cutting boards for meats, vegetables, and other foods if possible.
• If using one board, clean immediately between different food types.

Bonus Tips for Longevity

• Replace your plastic cutting board if it becomes deeply grooved or cracked, as bacteria can hide in crevices.
• Avoid putting plastic boards in the dishwasher if not dishwasher-safe — check manufacturer guidelines.
• Store boards upright to keep them dry and prevent warping.
