How to Restore a Cutting Board (4 Easy Steps)
Oct 7, 2026
Don't toss that stained, scratched-up cutting board. Here's how to make it look almost new in four easy steps:
1. Scrub with coarse salt and half a lemon to lift stains and freshen it up.
2. Sand with the grain: 80 grit for deep knife marks, then 220 grit to finish smooth.
3. Wipe off the dust and soak it overnight in food-grade mineral oil.
4. Buff in board wax or cream to seal it.
Skip olive or vegetable oil. They can go rancid.
