Maintenance Tips
-
Clean After Use: Wipe the surface with mild soap and warm water; rinse and dry thoroughly—never soak.
-
Oil Regularly: Apply food‑grade mineral oil or butcher block conditioning oil often (weekly with heavy use) to prevent drying, cracking, and warping.
-
Seal for Protection: After oiling, use a food‑safe board cream or beeswax to help repel moisture and enhance durability.
-
Avoid Heat & Moisture: Do not expose the wood to prolonged heat, standing water, or extreme humidity.
-
Use Proper Tools: Avoid slicing directly with very sharp or heavy blades in one spot repeatedly to minimize grooves; rotate cutting areas.
-
Sanitize Safely: For deeper cleaning, a mixture of coarse salt and lemon can help lift stains and odors without damaging the wood.
