Rovers2000 Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 About 3 years ago I received a very thick butcher block style cutting board which I've used essentially every day since. However, once I got past the first few months I was lax about oiling it and it began to accumulate a few small stains. Over the past few months it also seems to pick up garlic / onion smells and taste even with scrubbing (light soap, immediately drying). I've tried the lemon and kosher salt method which really didn't do much. Before I start to oil the board again, does anyone have any tried and true ways to recondition the board somewhat? Or do I have to sand it down a little? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lperry Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 A paste of water and baking soda is worth a try. I was taught that the only way to keep onion and garlic out of your big board is to have a dedicated board for those jobs, so I have a little onion board that I just put on top of the big block when I need it.
