Expert Guide: Removing Stains and Odors (Part 3)

Cleaning a wood charcuterie board regularly is an essential practice for its upkeep. However, even with regular cleaning, stains and odors can accumulate on the board, marring its overall appearance and scent. Therefore, it's imperative to learn how to remove these to keep your board fresh and clean.

Follow these best practices for removing stains and odors from your wood charcuterie board:

1. Remove stains: For stubborn stains, use a mixture of coarse salt and lemon juice. Rub the mixture onto the stain and let it sit for a few hours, then rinse with warm water and dry the board thoroughly
2. Eliminate odors: To remove unpleasant odors from your board, sprinkle some baking soda onto the surface and rub it with a damp cloth. Let the baking soda sit for a few hours, then rinse the board with warm water and dry it thoroughly

It's essential to note that if the board is too stained or too odorous, it may be time to replace it. A board that looks or smells unappealing can impact the taste and overall experience of your charcuterie creations.
