How to care for and maintain wooden cutting boards

Wood is a beautiful and natural material for boards. However, it requires a little care.
WASH BY HAND ONLY - DO NOT IMMERSE IN WATER
To keep your cutting board clean on a daily basis, wash it immediately after use. Wash the cutting board with hot water and dishwashing liquid, rinse with hot water only, and simply wipe dry with a clean dish towel. Store in a dry place.
Important:
1. Never immerse in water
2. Never wash in the dishwasher
DISINFECT WITH VINEGAR
We recommend disinfecting and refreshing your wooden cutting board once a month. Acetic acid (white vinegar) is an excellent disinfectant for E. coli, Salmonella, and other household bacteria. Spray the wooden cutting board with vinegar, leave for a few minutes, and wipe with a damp cloth.
REFRESH WITH SALT AND LEMON
Once a week, you can refresh your cutting board. After washing, rub table salt on the surface of the board, then rub a lemon cut in half into the board. After five minutes, wash the surface of the board with hot water and wipe dry.
USE ONLY MINERAL OIL
Our boards are factory-coated with mineral oil, which is certified for contact with food. It is the best product for long-term protection of wood, and is tasteless and odorless. It also highlights the natural beauty of the wood. We recommend using our oil when the board begins to slightly change its original color. Simply moisten a cotton cloth with oil and rub it into the board. After a few hours, remove any excess oil from the board.
USE BEESWAX
We recommend a special mixture of beeswax and mineral oil, which you can find in our offer, for maintenance. The wax additionally seals the pores of the wood and gives it a velvety surface. We particularly recommend this treatment after other maintenance activities. Spread a small amount of wax on the board and polish with a soft cloth after 5-10 minutes.
LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE
It is difficult to avoid signs of wear after several years of use and thousands of knife cuts. However, a great feature of our boards is that they can be restored to their original condition. All you need is three different grades of sandpaper (100, 180, and 240). First, sand the board with the coarsest 100-grit sandpaper, then 180, and finish with the fine 240-grit sandpaper. After sanding, wash the board, apply mineral oil, and finish with beeswax.
