Just found a related thread about the safety of wood cutting boards:
https://permies.com/t/189123/permaculture-home-care-cleaning/wooden-chopping-board-hygienic

I didn't read the whole thread. But it sounds like a wash with soapy water followed by quick drying may be sufficient.

I had to do something like this, except it was my own cutting board that I let get stained and maybe a few spots of mold.
I cleaned it with salt and a little lemon juice. The salt was only damp so it stayed gritty and scoured everything that wasn't absorbed in the wood.
After that I sanded the surface until it was much lighter and clean looking, then coated it with mineral oil. I need to recoat it every few months to keep it looking oiled.
I picked mineral oil because I was sure it was food-grade and was easy to work with. I got it from a pharmacy.

I TOTALLY wouldn't do it but I have heard of someone who just keeps adding an additional "*" character to their usual go-to password every time.



My first employer had a rule that the password couldn't be any of the last 4 passwords, which ruled out adding the season to the end of my password. So I added the number of times I needed to change my password instead.

I think all of these will result in good passwords.
The US government used recommend a lot of complex password rules, but recently scrapped all of it in favor of a simpler recommendation (NIST SP800-63b):

Go long. At least 8 characters.
