Wooden tableware and accessories have been popular among housewives for many years now.

We should “thank” them for this due to their inherent environmental friendliness and pleasant, even somewhat cozy, appearance.

However, kitchen utensils made of wood have one significant drawback: they can easily absorb a wide variety of odors.

This problem is especially relevant for cutting boards, which often become a source of unpleasant “aromas”.
