How to get rid of the smell after cutting herring on a board: 3 working methods
A cutting board is, without a doubt, actively used in any kitchen.
The housewife needs it to cut bread, cut meat or fish, chop greens... The list can go on and on.
But because of this “demand”, kitchen utensils acquire an unpleasant smell – for example, after cutting up a herring, a “mind-blowing aroma” of fish comes from the cutting board.
To ensure that your cutting boards only please you with their attractive appearance and the absence of foreign odors, you can use the following tips for cleaning them.
1. After using the board (especially if you cut meat or fish on it), do not forget to disinfect the surface.
Lemon juice or 9% acetic acid will help you with this.
2. Another "helper" is dry mustard. Rub it on the dirty surface after you rinse the board with hot water. Leave the mustard powder for about 5 minutes, then rinse with clean water.
3. Finally, you can enlist the "support" of coffee grounds, which are also rubbed onto the boards and washed off after 5 minutes. It is believed that this method will help even when the board smells not only of fish, but also of mold.
