My mum had a bit of an accident when she made fish she put it on the side board to be threw out and by an accident she lifted it along with the dirty laundry and put it in the washing machine she now cant get the smell of fish out of her washing machine can u help?? pls

To keep your wooden cutting boards fresh, rub lemon wedges over the board after you've used them. Remember never to put wood in an automatic dishwasher, and NEVER let it soak in standing water. It'll soak up the nasties, get warped, and be more prone to get smelly. :)

Just about to cry? Is the onion so strong, you just want to die? Try cutting it while it is submersed in water. You may need to use a large tuperware or foot tub to support your cutting board. Then just strain for the onion bits and use as you will. (If you plan to saute the onion, be sure to paper towel off the excess water, first!)

Buy different coloured chopping boards for keeping your meat and veg separate. I bought two of the same in a twin pack, but after a nasty bout of salmonella, realised that I must have got the two mixed up by accident.
