Hasegawa Board Question

[nhb22]

I had white residue I couldn’t get rid of from the board. I tried bleach, white vinegar, hot water with soap. Nothing worked. I then tried to use the green 3M pad to really scrub it. It didn’t remove the white stuff but left green material on the board…

As a last resort, I tried to use the scrapper from Hasegawa. 5 minutes of hard scrapping didn’t nothing…does anyone have experience with this?

What does the scrapper even do? Works like a gentle sand block?

Only thing I can think of that will get into those "pores" is something with some grit... maybe some salt and mild detergent will do the trick?

Salt is probably a good idea! Trying now!

You are the man! Salt with sponge or paper towel didn’t work. Nylon brush by itself didn’t work, but kosher salt with stiff nylon brush like this worked right away. Super clean in 30 seconds!

My hasegawa has not had the same problem, but Great to know for future reference.

Looks like starch from potatoes.

could be. Any idea why it was so hard to clean or what I could have done to make it easier for myself?
