Straight bleach bath, rinse with lighter fluid, and add some whiskey as a kicker and light it on fire

Bleach and a stainless steel wool scrubber

There are companies that can resurface them but lighting it on fire sounds like more fun

Saturate paper towels with bleach and leave them to soak over the cutting board

I have a planer specifically for these, and I plane them down until they’re too thin to plane and need to be replaced.

Soak towels in bleach, lay on board overnight, if that doesnt work it needs to be planed

Lmao sand it down and re-groove it

Thought they made shavers for them.

Put towels on it and pour bleach on them and let it set. Then clean it. If that doesn’t work, get a belt sander and sand it down.

Put on an N 95 mask and pull out your orbital sander and work it around the cutting board to take out all the grooves and stains. Make sure you wipe it down thoroughly to get all of the powder off and it’s like you have a new cutting board.

This is at the point of a light sanding. A health inspector will make you eventually.

I’ve found the bleach bath people are recommending tends to soften the surface a lot. I Reccomend seeing if you can find someone to plane them for cheap or take the ol’ paint scraper to them (gently).

If it’s well used and doesn’t feel smooth there a lot of abrasions where bacteria can hide and there’s an increased risk of micro plastics getting all up in your food. You can resurface them with a hand planer, it will scrape off all the shit making it smooth shiny and looking brand new.
Link to the planer I got from a restaurant supply store:
Needs to be resurfaced you can’t clean them at a certain point

We pressure wash ourselves monthly. Makes it look brand new

I had a chef that used to take them out back and sand them down with 40 grit, then 80 and then I think 120. He was a nut, but shit they looked fucking brand new right after. I have so many storied about that dude.

Bleach or have the board sanded down to a clean new surface.

Block-white sysco sells it.

Easy way are : scrub with soap and pat dry
Then spray some bleach and put papertowel to cover it and let it sit overnight
As a life long bleacher of cutting boards, I pressure washed some for the first time earlier this year and lemme tell you, total game changer. It got stuff out even the bleach wouldn’t get. If you have access to a pressure washer that’s what I’d do

Ecolab sells a handheld planer for cutting boards it’s like $20 start at one end and shave across should make it new no need for bleach or soaking etc. worked well for us
