Wash wooden spoons, spatulas and other utensils with warm water every time. Soaking with clean water is not recommended, because it may lead to bacterial growth and lead to cracks in wooden utensils in the future. When cleaning these wooden utensils, it is recommended to use neutral dishwashing detergent, cooperate with hands, dishwashing sponge or other cleaning tools that will not harm wooden spoons and scrapers before cleaning.

Step 2 remove stains and odors
Soda powder and lemon juice can not only help wooden spoons, spatulas and other utensils to eliminate odor, but also remove dirt that is difficult to clean. First, pour about 65,438+0 teaspoons of baking powder on the surface of a wooden vessel of general size. The amount of baking powder will increase or decrease with the size of the vessel. The larger the size of the vessel, the more baking powder is added. The smaller the vessel, the less baking powder is added. Then, squeeze the lemon juice in. Or, without using lemon juice, directly mix baking soda powder with water into a paste, then smear it on wooden utensils, and then gently rub the surface of the utensils with your fingers or clean cloth to let baking soda powder and lemon juice penetrate. If possible, the rubbing direction should be consistent with the texture of the wood, and finally the wooden utensils should be washed with clear water. If the dirt is not completely removed, you can repeat the above steps until all the utensils are clean. If the dirt is too stubborn, you can also add a little coarse salt to the baking soda powder.
3. Sodium percarbonate
Besides baking soda and lemon juice, you can also use sodium percarbonate as a detergent to clean these wooden utensils. Just put 1 tablespoon of sodium percarbonate in about 1 liter of water (or according to the instructions on the product package), then put the wooden utensils in water, scrub them with your hands, sponge or cloth, and let them soak in water for a few minutes. In addition to cleaning, it also has bactericidal effect.
3. vinegar
If the smell of wooden utensils is a bit heavy, you can also use vinegar to clean them, and the effect of vinegar to remove the smell will be better. Just mix hot water with white vinegar at the ratio of 1: 1, then soak the wooden utensils in vinegar water for about 30 minutes, and finally rinse them with hot water and dry them.
4. Maintenance
