If your problem is specifically a rancid garlic smell you want to neutralize, then try the following:
Use 1/4 cup of baking soda and 5 drops of dish soap, then add just enough water to make a paste. Grind with the pestle and be sure to coat the sides completely. Then add 1/2 cup of vinegar and stir until the sides are coated in foam. Let sit about 5 minutes, then rinse with hot water and dry thoroughly.

No problem!
Did you have any luck getting that mortar and pestle cleaned?
Added links to "before" images. Will update after it dries to include "after".
I'm a day late. Sorry about that.
No worries! Looks like you really had your work cut out for you there!
Yes, it was pretty gross. It all started when we went through a phase where all the fresh garlic we were buying had mold in it. After a few weeks we gave up and went back to powdered garlic, so our m&p sat around and occasionally got various soups slopped on it. That last part miiight be my fault.
The m&p was totally dry this morning so I took "after" photos and added them to the Google album. Still some darker spots but better than it was before.
Looks pretty usable to me!
My sniffer isn't 100% today but it seems not to be malodorous after the bath. I may try seasoning it tonight. Thanks again for the advice! โ๏ธ
Not yet. What a lazy butt I am. I'll probably try it tomorrow. I will add some before & after pictures.
