Why Do Wooden Cutting Boards Stain?
Wood is a porous material, which means it can absorb liquids and food particles. Over time, this can lead to discoloration, particularly from foods like:
- Beets
- Berries
- Turmeric
- Coffee or tea spills
- Greasy residues
Materials Needed
- Coarse salt (such as kosher or sea salt)
- Baking soda
- Lemon or white vinegar
- Hydrogen peroxide (optional)
- Mineral oil or cutting board conditioner
- A sponge, brush, or cloth
