What do the black lines mean? Are the 'black lines' just lines on the
plastic, or do you mean that score marks on the board are noticeably darker
than the rest of the board? What do the 'black lines' mean? I use a
plastic cutting board and routinely pour bleach on it and let it 'soak in'
for a few minutes to be safe, especially after I've cut chicken on it, but
there are some score marks on it that are darker than the surrounding area.
I will stop using my cutting board immediately until I know for sure what's
safe and what isn't.
