CARE INSTRUCTIONS
- Clean the cutting board after each use: Wash the cutting board with hot, soapy water, using a sponge or brush to remove any food particles or stains. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean towel.
- Avoid soaking: Do not soak the cutting board in water or leave it submerged, as excessive moisture can cause warping or cracking.
- Sanitize regularly: To disinfect the cutting board, you can use a solution of one part white vinegar to four parts water or a mild bleach solution (1 tablespoon of bleach per gallon of water). Apply the solution, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse and dry.
- Avoid harsh chemicals: Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can damage the surface or leave residues on the cutting board.
- Apply food-safe oil: To maintain the cutting board's condition, apply a thin layer of food-grade mineral oil or other appropriate oils (such as coconut or beeswax) periodically. This helps prevent the wood from drying out and protects it from moisture.
- Store properly: Store the cutting board in a dry and well-ventilated area, preferably in an upright position to allow air circulation. Avoid storing it near a heat source or in direct sunlight.
- Use separate boards for different food types: Consider using separate cutting boards for different types of food (meat, vegetables, fruits) to prevent cross-contamination.
- Handle with care: Avoid using excessive force or dropping heavy objects onto the cutting board, as it may cause damage or cracks.
- Resurface if needed: Over time, the cutting board may develop deep grooves or scratches. If the surface becomes uneven or difficult to clean, you can sand it lightly with fine-grit sandpaper to smooth out the imperfections.
