How to care for custom wood cutting boards FAQ
There are a few things you need to know to properly care for your wooden cutting board.
- How to wash custom wood cutting boards
First of all, it is extremely important that you do not put custom wood cutting boards in the dishwasher. You also shouldn’t immerse your boards in water as it will cause them to warp or crack.
The best way to clean a wooden cutting board is to wash your hands with a brush or sponge and hot soapy water. We recommend using mild, unscented dish soap. Simply rub your board on both sides, not just the side you used. (By washing both sides of the board, you ensure that the board dries evenly to prevent warping.)
After washing, dry with a dish towel. Place the board upright on the bowl shelf or against a wall to complete the drying process.
- Do I need to sanitize my boards?
If you’re worried about getting bacterial contamination, you can use a dilute solution of vinegar, salt, or lemon when cleaning.
Simply wipe the board down using a clean cloth soaked in a solution of four parts water to one part white vinegar. Alternatively, you can also use a teaspoon of baking soda and water. Let the cutting board soak for a few minutes, then wash it as usual.
To treat residual stains or odors, you can sprinkle salt on it. Then rub half a lemon directly on the cutting board
- What is the best oil to use for maintenance?
Oil is used on wooden cutting boards to replenish moisture lost through washing and renew their appearance. We recommend oiling your boards once a month or when they feel dry to the touch.
Food-grade mineral oil is probably the most common oil used to maintain the look of wooden cutting boards. Alternatively, you can also use coconut oil
Regularly servicing the cutting board with mineral oil, it prolongs the life of the product. The oil helps to prevent the cracking, splitting, and drying of boards. Thus helping to prevent the growth of bacteria.
