Use Vinegar

Pour white vinegar in a bottle, without diluting it. Straight on the mold, spray, and allow it to sit for an hour or longer without scrubbing. If the mold is particularly dense, form a paste with 1 tablespoon baking soda and 2 cups of water. Make use of a brush or sponge to apply the paste directly onto the mold areas and allow them to soak. Within an hour wash using warm water to eliminate the solution. Spray again with vinegar, and allow it to dry.

Lemon and Kosher Salt

Clean the cutting board with hot water to help break the bonds that create the black mold. Clean off the board with a cloth until it’s completely dry. Set the board on the counter, and sprinkle salt directly onto the mold. Then, squeeze your lemon, squeeze it on the cutting board, and salt. Make use of the lemon half squeezed then scrub it over the entire board to ensure that the black stain is gone. Ensure that the lemon is used to clean the whole board. Utilize a moist towel to get rid of the lemon and salt out of the bowl. Make use of a dry towel to take away any leftovers. Apply a layer of mineral oil on the outside of your board to stop breaking or warping.
