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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
