cleaning wood chopping boards, how do i stop them smelling?

[technoduck]

I always give them a soak, and let them dry out completely dry out but they still stink, any ideas?

DH pours boiling water over ours, which seems to work.

sorry just seem what Ive done there!

Thanks!

scrub with WUL and your nylon brush.

when dh gutted and prepared fish on my lovey wooden bread board we had a smelly board incident, I first scrubbed the board with hot hot hot soapy water, then sprinkled soda crystals on and left it over night. scrubbed again the next day - smell gone. but the board went white and I had to oil it a couple of times, good as new.

According to Kim and Aggie you rub dry mustard powder into a dry wooden chopping board to removew smells. I havn't tried it though

Thanks for the advice everyone, and not to take the mick that I didn't know what wul was!

Bleach will clean them,

I have to say I have a couple of lovely wooden chopping boards but I don't use them for chopping on, I prefer to buy cheapish plastic ones that can go in the dishwasher and replace them every so often when they get stained/distorted.
