Board Care

Your board is handcrafted from solid hardwood and finished with our food-safe blend of mineral oil and beeswax. With proper care, it will stay smooth and stable for many years.

CLEANING

⁠Wash by hand with warm water and mild soap.
⁠Dry immediately with a towel — don’t leave the board wet.
⁠Never soak it or put it in the dishwasher.
⁠Use both sides to help keep the board flat.

When to Re-Oil

Wood naturally dries over time. Reapply the Woodgrain finish whenever the board:

⁠Looks lighter or dull.
⁠Feels dry or slightly rough.
⁠No longer beads water on the surface.
Most boards benefit from conditioning every 3–6 weeks, depending on use and climate.

How to Apply the Finish

Start with a clean, completely dry board.
Massage a thin layer of the included food-safe mineral oil over all surfaces.
Let it absorb for about 20 minutes.
Buff thoroughly with a clean cloth until the wood feels smooth and no residue remains.

For Stains or Odors

Sprinkle coarse salt on the board, rub with half a lemon, then rinse and dry well. This refreshes the surface without harming the wood.

Storage

Store the board upright or flat with airflow. Avoid direct heat or damp environments.

Light Sanding (Only If Needed)

If the surface becomes heavily marked or slightly raised, you may sand lightly with 320–400 grit in the direction of the grain. Wipe clean and reapply the finish.
