Cutting Board Care Instructions

Your cutting board is built to last — with the right care, it will serve you beautifully for years to come. Follow these guidelines to preserve the look, durability, and hygiene of your board.

🧼 Cleaning Your Board

• After each use, hand wash your board with warm water and mild dish soap.

• Never submerge the board in water or place it in the dishwasher — this can cause warping and splitting.

• Dry the board immediately with a clean towel, then allow it to air dry fully before storing.

🍋 Disinfecting & Deodorizing

• To sanitize naturally, wipe the surface with a solution of one part white vinegar to four parts water.

• For deeper deodorizing, rub the board with half a lemon and coarse salt, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

🛡️ Regular Maintenance

• Apply food-grade mineral oil once a month (or when the wood appears dry).

• Pour a small amount of oil on the board and spread it evenly with a clean cloth or paper towel.

• Let it soak in for at least 4 hours or overnight, then wipe off any excess.

Optional: Use a board conditioner or beeswax finish for added protection and luster.

❌ What to Avoid

• Do not soak or leave your board in standing water.

• Avoid harsh detergents or bleach.

• Do not expose your board to extreme heat or direct sunlight.

• Never use your board as a cutting surface for raw meat unless you sanitize it thoroughly afterward.

✅ Quick Tips

• Store your board upright or in a well-ventilated area.

• Use separate boards for meat and vegetables to avoid cross-contamination.

• Rotate the use of both sides of the board to prevent uneven wear.

Caring for your cutting board doesn’t take long — just a few simple habits will keep it safe, beautiful, and functional for years to come.
