Do you have stains left on your cutting board from cutting/chopping

Salt is quite effective but I haven't tried vinegar. I have heard though that spraying vinegar water helps to kill bacteria as you've mentioned.

I've never tried bleach but I remember my mom did. It was quite effective but I'm not sure what brand it was. She use to also use Hydrogen Peroxide.

I've never thought of using hydrogen peroxide to disinfect anything but cuts and scrapes! LOL I use it all the time when I get a cut. It bubbles, making whatever dirt or foreign particles in the cut come out and it disinfects the wound. I love it! It's always worked better for me than even antibiotic ointment like Neosporin!

But, I never thought to use it on anything else. I would work, though, and it's a lot cheaper than most other stuff!

Oops, I mean, IT would work, not I would work. Sorry! LOL

I agree, it is annoying.

My cutting board is white too but I use a wooden cutting board to slice bread. I only use the white one for cutting/chopping meats and vegetables.

I haven't tried bleach because the salt has so far worked for me. But I will use it the next time.

I had no idea that baking soda can be used. I will try it and see.

I've been having this problem for a long time, most of my plastic containers are stained from curries and I have never been able to get rid off the staine. I've tried soaking them in hot water with detergent but the stains are alsways there.

I will soak them in purex water and see if it works. Purex is readily available here in my country and it's also not expensive.

hope it works well for you. youhave to let it sit awhile in the water, good luck. i just hate stained dishes. i'm picky. lol

I've never tried Comet or bleach. We do have both products here in my country, but so far the salt has worked for me. But I will try the two products you've mentioned in the future.

It usually happens because garlic is quite strong. That's really nice that you help your wife when she's cooking. My husband helps me too whenever I cook when he comes to visit us from the estate. But we usually have our meals from out when he comes.
