The Matfer Bourgeat chopping board scraper is a straightforward, robust hand tool designed to resurface polyethylene chopping boards that have become scored and grooved through regular use. By drawing the blade across the board surface, it shaves away the top layer to reveal a clean, smooth face underneath — removing the fine cuts and crevices where bacteria and food residue can accumulate.

In a working kitchen, chopping boards deteriorate quickly under knife work. Those surface grooves are a genuine hygiene concern, and in many kitchens boards are replaced far sooner than necessary simply because staff assume a scored surface cannot be recovered. A scraper used routinely as part of a cleaning and maintenance regime can meaningfully extend the working life of a board — reducing the frequency of replacement and keeping boards compliant with kitchen hygiene standards for longer.

  • Removes knife scores and surface grooves from polyethylene boards
  • Restores a clean, smooth surface that is easier to sanitise effectively
  • Reduces premature board replacement and associated costs
  • Lightweight and simple to use without any special technique or training
  • Suitable for use across colour-coded board systems

This is a manual tool with no electrical components. There is nothing to install and no ongoing maintenance required beyond keeping the blade clean. It is worth bearing in mind that heavily scored or warped boards may be beyond the point of useful recovery — the scraper works best as part of a regular maintenance routine rather than as a rescue measure for boards that are already at end of life.

Well suited to any commercial kitchen operating a HACCP-compliant board system, particularly where boards are in heavy daily use and where hygiene standards are closely monitored. If you are unsure whether your boards are suitable for resurfacing or have questions about board maintenance programmes, we are happy to help you work through it.

Frequently asked questions

Can this scraper be used on all types of chopping boards?

It is designed specifically for polyethylene (plastic) chopping boards, which are the most common type in commercial kitchens. It is not suitable for wooden boards, as the material behaves differently and requires a different approach to maintenance.

How often should we be resurfacing our boards with this tool?

That depends on how heavily the boards are used and how quickly surface scoring develops. In most commercial kitchens, incorporating it into a weekly or monthly maintenance check tends to work well — catching boards before the grooves become deep enough to be a hygiene risk rather than waiting until the damage is significant.

At what point is a board too far gone to resurface?

If a board is heavily warped, deeply gouged, or has reached a point where repeated resurfacing has made it noticeably thin, replacement is the safer option. The scraper is most effective as part of a proactive maintenance routine rather than as a last resort — boards maintained regularly will last considerably longer than those left until they are visibly damaged.
