Caring for your Cutting Board
 
How To & How Often to Maintain:
Wooden cutting boards should be kept clean and daily maintenance is a good scrub with hot soapy water after using. Soaking your cutting boards in water WILL cause damage. Absolutely no dishwasher use! Using a very weak bleach solution or hydrogen peroxide to clean your boards after they've been used for cutting raw meat is a precaution against bacterial contamination. Depending on how often you use your boards, maintenance should be at least every couple months. 
 
Everyday Use:
Simply wash your board with your regular dish soap at your sink & with a scrubber brush. Dry with a cloth.
 
Long term care: Oiling and Maintaining a Wooden Cutting Board
Be sure your boards are very clean. Give them a scrub with lemon and salt. The boards should also be dry before starting.

What You Need:
Wooden cutting board
Clean, soft cloth or paper towel
Mineral oil
Beeswax & mineral oil conditioner (Howard’s is a brand easily available)
 
Instructions:
Start with a clean board. Be sure your cutting board is as clean as possible and thoroughly dry.
Apply the oil.  Using a clean, soft cloth or paper towel, apply the oil in an even layer over the wood.
Let it soak in.  Remove any excess. Leave the oil to soak in, overnight if possible, or for at least a few hours.
