How to Get Rid of Cutting Board Odors

By Annie B. Bond, author of Better Basics for the Home (Three Rivers Press, 1999).
I don’t recommend people cut meat on cutting boards, but on a
plate that is then washed in the dish washer instead.
This keeps potentially deadly bacteria from growing in the cracks and crevices of cutting boards of any material. But, even when just used for chopping vegetables, cutting boards develop odors that need to
be neutralized.
Here’s the easy way to get your cutting boards smelling fresh
again. Kitchen cupboard ingredients are all you need to do the trick!
1. First, if the odors are acid in nature, sprinkle board with baking soda. Spray with water to moisten the baking soda, then allow it to sit on the board for 30 minutes. Rinse.
2. If the odors are alkaline, this second formula will work like magic. Just spray straight white vinegar on the board and let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing.
