Cutting Boards fail for two reasons: poor manufacturing and improper care. Proper care is easy by following these simple tips.
- Keep your wooden cutting board clean and dry.
- Hand-wash only. Do not clean your cutting board in a dishwasher. Do not soak your cutting board in water or cleaning liquids.
- Clean immediately after each use.
- As needed (we recommend annually) gently re-sand your board with a 300-grit sandpaper.
- Do not use steel wool to re-sand your board as metal may become lodged in the wood and end up in your food.
- After sanding, re-oil with an oil specific for wooden boards used for food. Only rub in enough oil that the wood will immediately absorb. Never leave a wet film of oil on the board.
