How To Keep Your Cutting Board From Smelling Like Onions

To keep your wooden cutting board from smelling like onions and garlic, wash it in hot soapy water after using, but now and then scrub it with coarse salt and half a lemon. The salt and lemon will help remove the smell and any stains. Wash again with hot soapy water and dry well. Every now and then, treat your board with some mineral oil to keep it from cracking.
