Care Instructions

Cutting/Charcuterie Board Care Instructions 

1. Before First Use • Wash with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. 

2. Daily Cleaning • Hand wash only — never place in the dishwasher. • Use mild soap and warm water; avoid soaking the board. • Dry immediately with a towel and stand upright to air-dry completely. 

3. Sanitizing • Wipe with white vinegar then rinse with warm water and dry fully. 

4. Deodorizing & Stain Removal • Sprinkle coarse salt or baking soda on the board. • Scrub using half a lemon, then rinse and dry. 

5. Regular Maintenance • Re-oil monthly or anytime the wood looks dry or dull. • Use food-grade mineral oil or wood conditioner (beeswax/mineral-oil blend). • Rub it with a cloth, let it absorb overnight, then wipe off excess. 

6. AVOID • Dishwasher use or prolonged water exposure. • High heat or direct sunlight (may cause warping or cracking). • Vegetable oils (they can turn rancid). Proper care keeps your cutting board sanitary, smooth, and long-lasting!
