Wooden Cutting Board Care Instructions

Daily Care

• 
  Wash by hand with warm water and mild dish soap.
  
• 
  Wipe dry immediately with a clean towel.
  
• 
  Stand upright or lean to air-dry fully.
  

Things to Avoid

• 
  Never put in the dishwasher.
  
• 
  Do not soak or leave sitting in water.
  
• 
  Avoid placing near direct heat sources (stove, radiator, sunlight).
  
• 
  Don’t use harsh chemicals or bleach.
  

Disinfecting & Deep Cleaning

• 
  Sprinkle coarse salt or baking soda, scrub with half a lemon.
  
• 
  For deeper cleaning, use a diluted vinegar solution (white vinegar + water).
  
• 
  Rinse quickly and dry immediately.
  

Oiling / Conditioning

• 
  Oil your board every 3–4 weeks, or whenever it looks dry.
  
• 
  Use food-grade mineral oil or board cream/wax (never use cooking oils — they go rancid).
  
• 
  Apply a generous coat, let absorb, and wipe off excess.
  
• 
  For best results, finish with a beeswax conditioner to seal the pores.
  

Storage

• 
  Store standing upright or hanging to prevent moisture buildup.
  
• 
  Keep in a well-ventilated area — not in a closed or humid cabinet.
