Care Instruction

Your board has been pre-oiled with food grade mineral oil prior to shipping. We suggest polishing your board with a light coat of mineral oil every 2 weeks for the first 6 weeks and/or when your board looks dry. An application of board wax will help prolong the time between applications and the lifetime of your board. Clean your board by wiping down with a hot damp dish cloth and dry off with a clean towel. If you have stubborn areas, you can use a small amount of dish detergent. Never submerge or saturate your board in water or allow it to sit in water or liquid. NEVER place your board in the dishwasher or microwave. This will cause your board to splinter and crack! Once you have cleaned your board, stand it upright on an edge to dry completely before storing. Keep your board away from direct/indirect sunlight and heating/air conditioning vents. Wash the board immediately after cutting raw meats. Bacteria can get in the deep cut marks and cause the board to smell or transmit harmful bacteria. Ifyour board begins to smell, clean with white vinegar or rub with a halved lemon and let it set for a few minutes with coarse salt before cleaning with a scrub brush and warm water. Over time, your board may begin to show wear from deep gashes. The board can be sanded with an orbit sander and progressive grits, then finished with food grade mineral oil to bring it back to look new again!
