Cutting Board Care

September 25, 2022

  • Never put your board in the dishwasher.
  • Never submerge or “soak” a board in water.
  • Use lukewarm water and a mild soap to clean.
  • Use our finish for best results if your board needs a refresh.

Notes for General Use

Use it. Many people never get the full experience of their board because they’re afraid to “ruin” it. Don’t be — give it character, and let it tell a story.

Avoid acidic foods on the surface. They strip away the finish faster than regular use.

If your board dries out or needs refinishing, we recommend a food-safe blend of wax and oil. We sell our own mixture — it blends better with the finish already on the board than a generic product will.

Directions

  1. Clean the board with mild soap and hot water.
  2. Reapply a food-safe oil and wax finish.
  3. Wait 3–5 minutes.
  4. Repeat if desired.
  5. Wipe away the excess finish.

Extreme Damage

If your board experiences a horrific accident — don’t panic. (If you’re reading this section, it’s probably already happened.)

Once you’ve composed yourself, ship it back to us and we’ll gladly restore it for a small fee. Just contact us to get that process started.
