Hardwood Cutting Board Product Care:

HAND WASH ONLY - NEVER SUBMERGE IN WATER

  • To avoid bacteria, it’s important that you wash your cutting board immediately after use.
  • Wipe the cutting board with hot soapy water, rinse it with hot water only and just wipe it dry with a clean dish towel. Store in a dry area.
    • Important:
      1. Never submerge in water.
      2. Do not place in dishwasher or in a microwave

    To CLEAN

    • Use a mild dish soap and sponge to clean the board, rinsing thoroughly and then dry.
    • For an all-natural clean, first  dampen the wood cutting board with a warm cloth and sprinkle coarse salt over it. Cut a lemon in half and scour the cut side of the lemon over the board while slightly squeezing the lemon juice out. Let it stand for five minutes and use a scrub brush to remove the excess.

    DISINFECT & DEODORIZE USING VINEGAR

    • White vinegar is an excellent disinfectant for E. coli, Salmonella and other household bacteria.
    • Spray vinegar on the wood cutting board, let sit for a few minutes and wipe it with a damp warm cloth

    REFURBISHING WOOD CUTTING BOARD

    Knife marks on your cutting board over the years are inevitable. With a wood cutting board, a little effort and some sand paper you will be able to bring them back to their original splendor. 

    • You need three different grits of sand paper (100, 180 and 240).
      1. Sand the board with the coarser 100 grit, then the 180 and finish with the fine 240 grit.
      2. Once you are done with sanding, wash the board, let dry;
      3. Apply conditioner.

    Cutting Board Conditioning Options

    • We recommend treating the board frequently in order to repel food particles and prevent stains and cracks from happening. It’s best to treat the board at least once a month and twice a month if used often.
      • AVOID VEGETABLE OR NUT-BASED OIL
        • Do not use vegetable or nut-based oil on your cutting board for the simple reason that it will spoil and become rancid. This will leave your wood cutting board with an unpleasant smell that will also noticeably change the taste of the food you are preparing.
