I’ve only used plastic so far. A friend was moving and she gave me her wooden cutting board. I cut something with it, and some grease got on the cutting board. Now I can’t remove the yellow spot no matter what I do. What can I do to clean it?

      Dishwashers aren’t some magical tool. They just wash so you don’t have to.

      Well, that and… I put wood boards through the dishwasher all the time. Not end grain blocks, but regular low profile boards.

          I tossed mine and got a new one.

          Plastic needs to be bleached for 30 minutes to remove contamination. A dishwasher won’t be enough.

              Believe what you want… if you aren’t bleaching your plastic cutting boards, you’re breeding bacteria. Wood has anti microbial properties that leeps this under control. See the link upstream for one of the best studies on the topic.
