Wooden items

You may not be aware of the amount of wooden items you have in your kitchen until it's time to clean them. Sauces tend to get trapped on the porous surface of wood elements and you may find it difficult to clean. But the reality is that although the stains seem impossible to clean, what matters is not to give in and insist on cleaning them.
You can clean your old wooden utensils in just a few steps and from now on, your wooden utensils will be as good as new. You can remove stains from wood with a little bleach (a plug is fine) in a quarter of warm water. Later, rinse and pat dry before applying a little vegetable oil (as is done on wooden surfaces).
Don't use too strong chemicals
It is necessary that you never use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners. It is best to use hot water with fine steel wool with a small amount of mild soap and then do a gentle cleaning with a delicate cloth, a sponge or simply use home remedies to clean and make any surface clean and disinfected.
