• Never put the board in the dishwasher or microwave.

• Never soak or submerge the board in water.

• Wash by hand with water and dish soap.

• Wash and wet both sides to help prevent the board from warping.

• Rinse and dry immediately.

• Let the board dry on its side, never flat, so air can circulate around both sides and help prevent warping.

​

• For regular use, oil the board about once a month or whenever the wood looks dry.

• When oiling the bottom, you can place the board on a pot, bowl, or other support to raise it off the counter and avoid making a mess.

• Use only food-grade mineral oil.

• Never use vegetable oil to maintain the board.

• Using a clean cloth, generously apply mineral oil over the entire surface.

• Spread the oil evenly over the top, bottom, and sides of the board.

• Let the oil soak in for about 10 minutes.

• Wipe off any excess oil with a clean, dry cloth.
