Even a new wooden cutting board will develop an unpleasant odor after several uses.
But experienced housewives solve this problem in a matter of minutes with the help of a simple trick.
This trick will not only get rid of the stench, but will also prevent it from occurring in the foreseeable future.
Wooden board
Most often, it is this material that makes cutting boards absorb unpleasant odors. But the problem is easy to solve. You just need to soak the product in linseed oil or beeswax.
Plastic board
Sometimes even plastic helpers emit an unpleasant smell. They do not need to be treated, but should be soaked in an oxygen solution to remove odors and dirt.
Experts advise cutting fish and meat on a plastic board, as it does not absorb foreign odors as much as a wooden one.
Some housewives divide plastic boards by color. For example, red is for meat, blue is for fish and seafood, yellow is for cheese and dairy products, green is for vegetables and fruits, white is for bread.
