There’s apparently so much plastic already in me that I don’t care. What I care is not having that chicken fluid soaked into the wooden board.

- SoftTalker 2y agoScrub it with hot soapy water and let it dry it will be fine.
- rad_gruchalski 2y agoYou mean scrub with that sponge made out of plastic? Because you definitely want those crevasses clean. And how hot should the water be? You have 70 degree Celsius water coming out from your tap? But hey, I used to do that. No matter how much you take care of them, the hot water wash and drying leads to those chopping boards splitting after so many uses. Those plastic buggers last for years.
- SoftTalker 2y agoscrub with a natural bristle brush. You can oil them occasionally if they are drying out too much and cracking. But yes they probably won't last forever. Shrug. Get another one.

- nanomonkey 2y agoI have a bamboo cutting board that I purchased in 2004, and a mesquite wood cutting board gifted to me a few years later. Both look nearly new despite using them daily. Now I don't cook meat, so maybe that is why my experience doesn't match yours.
- ericd 2y agoJust regular soap and water with a brush seem to work fine, no need to scrub hard, generally.
- pjc50 2y agoUnder-rated comment. Microplastics are an omnipresent, low, vague risk, and I already have a long list of those which people want me to care about. While food poisoning is much more of an immediate problem - and still from time to time kills people!
