You're better off tossing all your wooden spoons. Originally maple was used to made wooden spoons, as it's pretty much the only antimicrobial wood there is, nonreactive and sturdy, and wouldn't scratch bowls or pans. Good butcher blocks are made of solid maple. But wooden spoons now are made of questionable woods and imported from China. You're better off with silicone utensils, which are totally inert, non-reactive, don't burn or conduct heat, don't absorb odors and won't scratch your good bowls and pans. They also don't collect germs or odors like wood does.
