How to Clean a Stain on a Wood Cutting Board With Lemon
- 1). Extract the juice from a lemon. An easy, mess-free method consists of cutting the lemon in half. Place half of the lemon in a plastic bag, and seal the bag. Squeeze the lemon to extract the lemon juice, and then cut the corner of the bag and drain the juice into a bowl.
- 2). Pour a liquid antibacterial soap into a small container. Fill the container with hot water.
- 3). Use a sponge and the soapy water to wipe the board down. This will remove particles so that you can directly treat the stain on the wood cutting board.
- 4). Sprinkle table salt on to the stain. Pour the lemon juice directly onto the stain. Allow the lemon juice and salt to sit for five to 10 minutes for tough stains. Scrub the area with an abrasive pad to remove the stain.
- 5). Run the cutting board under cold water to rinse. Wipe off any excess water, and rub olive oil on the surface to protect the cutting board.
