Caring for your Wooden Kitchen Tools:
ALWAYS hand wash wooden kitchen tools.
CLEAN with hot water and dish soap using a brush or sponge
Rinse with water and dry thoroughly before storing.
NEVER put in a dishwasher or keep submersed in water.
Use FOOD GRADE mineral oil or a butcher block oil/conditioner that is food safe as needed.
Monthly is the average, but it can depend on use and cleaning methods.
*to apply: Make sure cutting board is completely dry, wipe on oil or conditioner let soak in overnight if possible and wipe off excess.
IMPORTANT: Avoid natural or vegetable oils as they can turn rancid.
Ways to remove stains or do a deeper clean:
Sprinkle baking soda or salt on board scrub, rinse thoroughly, then wash as normal.
Use half a lemon to scrub the baking soda or salt, the acidic lemon juice will also deodorize the board.
Disinfecting a board:
a mixture of 2 Tablespoons of distilled vinegar in a gallon of water.
Anytime an extra scrub is done let board dry thoroughly and oil or condition.
