Care Instructions

To clean chopping board, wash it with warm, soapy water and rinse both sides, then dry it immediately and thoroughly with a towel before letting it air dry upright. For a deeper clean, use a paste of salt and lemon juice to scrub the board, rinse it well, and then dry it thoroughly before conditioning it with food-safe mineral oil.

Everyday cleaning
1. Remove debris: Scrape off any large food particles with a bench scraper or a similar tool.
2. Wash: Wash the board with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Be sure to wash both sides to prevent warping. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads.
3. Rinse: Rinse the board with warm water, making sure to wash off all soap.
4. Dry: Immediately pat the board dry with a clean towel, then stand it upright to allow for full air circulation while it finishes drying.

Deep cleaning (for stains and odors)
1. Scrub: Sprinkle coarse salt and baking soda over the board. Use half a lemon to scrub the mixture in a circular motion across the entire surface.
2. Rinse: Rinse the board thoroughly with water to remove all the salt and baking soda. You can also rinse with white vinegar to help sanitize and remove the residue.
3. Dry: Dry the board immediately and completely with a towel, then let it air dry upright.

Maintenance and care
• Never submerge the board in water or put it in the dishwasher, as this can cause it to warp or crack.
• Wipe the board with a damp cloth between uses for light cleaning.
• To prevent the wood from drying out and cracking, apply a food-safe mineral oil regularly, about once a month, or whenever the board looks dry.
• Let the oil soak in overnight, then wipe off any excess before using the board.
• For an extra protective layer, you can use a board cream made from beeswax and mineral oil after the oil has been absorbed.
