Cutting Board Care Guide

Cutting Board Care Guide

Thank you for supporting handcrafted work! To keep your board looking beautiful and performing well for years to come, follow these tips:

đź§Ľ Cleaning

  • Wipe with damp cloth and mild dish soap after each use.
  • Rinse with clean water and dry immediately—stand upright to air dry.
  • (Optional) For added sanitation, spray with full-strength white vinegar and let air dry. No rinse needed. Naturally antimicrobial and food safe.

đź§´ Conditioning

  • Apply food-safe mineral oil or cutting board conditioner when wood looks dry.
  • Apply with paper towel, let it sit 15–30 minutes (longer if preferred), then wipe off excess with a paper towel or lint-free cloth.

đźš« What to Avoid

  • Soaking, dishwashers, bleach, or abrasive scrubbers.
  • Don’t leave wet items sitting on the board.
  • Avoid prolonged direct sunlight or extreme heat such as hot pots/pans.

🛠️ Touch-Ups

  • Light scratches? Sand gently with 220-grit paper and reapply cutting board conditioner (easily available on Amazon, and other sites).
  • For deeper wear, reach out—we offer refinishing services.
