How to Keep Your Plastic Cutting Board Clean and Safe

2. Use the Right Cleaning Products
When cleaning your cutting board, choose cleaning products that won’t cause damage. A mixture of water and dish soap is usually enough to clean most stains. For tougher stains, try using a gentle abrasive cleaner. Never use harsh chemicals that can leach into the surface of the board.

3. Disinfect Regularly
To kill bacteria and viruses, you need to disinfect your plastic cutting board regularly. An easy way to do this is by using a solution of one tablespoon of bleach in one gallon of water. Simply soak the cutting board in the solution for a few minutes, rinse it thoroughly with water, and dry it with a clean towel.

For a more natural disinfectant, try using white vinegar. Vinegar has antibacterial properties that are effective in sanitizing the board.
