Any type of food grade oils/waxes you prefer, but your board has been conditioned with food grade mineral oil and a beeswax combination. It will look its best when oiled, and will last longer if it’s done regularly. Wood conditioners are another great solution and are made of mineral oil and wax. You can use as needed per instructions of the product.

Typically, when it gets dull/dry, but you can’t oil your board too much. Just don’t leave excess oil on your board for a long period of time.

• Use dish soap and water- These are totally fine to use for those times when you have tougher foods to get off, or you want to wash your board especially well after setting out meats, etc.

• Oil regularly, especially if your board is getting frequent use. This will keep it looking beautiful and protect the wood from moisture that will cause warping.

• Dry off thoroughly after rinsing. Don’t just set it out on a dish rack- use a towel to dry off any excess water.

DON’T

• Use the dishwasher- the heat will warp the wood!

• Use abrasive scrubbers like steel wool- you’ll ruin the beautiful finish! Use plastic scrapers, gentle dish soap and hot water for those stubborn bits of food

• Soak your board in water- while rinsing and washing your board is fine, letting it soak for a longer period of time will definitely cause warping!

• Use olive or vegetable oils- these can get rancid over time and cause your board to smell that way! And you don’t want that smell to affect the foods you’re serving!

• Store it in a closed space. Air flow will help your board stay dry and keep it from building up unwanted moisture that can cause warping and breaking.
