Hand-wash with hot water and mild dish soap introduce.

Hand-wash wooden utensils with hot water and mild dish soap. Although wooden utensils and cutting boards could technically be cleaned in the dishwasher, it’s not a good idea. The high water temperatures in the dishwasher can dry them out and lead to cracks in the wood. Simple hand washing is best for wooden items.

Highly pigmented foods introduce.

Highly pigmented foods, such as tomato sauce or berries, will stain wooden utensils and cutting boards. They’re still safe to use if they’re stained, and the stains will eventually fade.

Absorb odors from strong flavors introduce.

Wooden items can absorb odors from strong flavors like garlic or oil and could transfer the odors and flavors to other foods. To reduce the smell, rub the wooden surface with the cut side of a halved lemon or with a paste made of baking soda and water. This will help neutralize the odor. If this is very bothersome, keep a separate cutting board and/or utensil for more flavorful foods to avoid flavor transfer.
