Mackenzie’s Fisherman Hand Scrub

I used plastic cutting boards for years primarily because they were inexpensive. Once I retired, Big Guy decided to surprise me with a @johnboosco. It was a stunning block, and the knife even seemed to work better. I was happy even knowing I would have to add a maintenance routine to keep my board in tip-top shape.

The issue I did have was getting out the smell of onions which made me wonder if I should return to plastic boards. I started the research and the best I found was using baking soda and vinegar. It worked well, but the smell of vinegar was overpowering in the cleaning process.

I started using @mackenziesfisherman which is a natural soap with walnut husk and lemon essential oil. I read about it in @gardenandgun which described this hand scrub as essential after handling fish, so I opted to go on a “flutter,” and tried it. It did a fantastic job of freshening up my board along with leaving my hands soft.

I still wash my board with soap and water afterward along with keeping up my maintenance, but this has resolved my dislike of smelling “old” onions each time I used my cutting board. Whew!
