Wash your wooden utensil thoroughly with hot soapy water. Now pour a good amount of coarse salt and rub it using a half-cut lemon until the salt has dissolved.
Immerse them in a vessel of hot water and squeeze lemon into it. You can also apply lemon juice directly to the utensils and rinse it off after 5-10 mins.

Sprinkle baking soda and lemon juice over the stain. Use a cloth to scrub this area and rinse it.
Soak your wooden utensils overnight in equal parts of white vinegar and room tempeture water. This will also help eliminate any bad odors.

Try using sandpaper to get rid of the stains. Sanding removes the top layer and reveals fresh wood. This helps in scraping off any leftover stains.
