Here's a on how to care for and preserve your cutting board:

Clean after each use

Wash your cutting board with hot, soapy water immediately after use. Use a sponge or soft brush to scrub away any food particles. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Avoid soaking

Never soak your cutting board in water or run it through the dishwasher. Excessive moisture can cause the wood to swell and warp.

Sanitize when needed

To sanitize your cutting board and eliminate any bacteria or odors, create a solution of equal parts water and vinegar or hydrogen peroxide. Wipe down the entire surface of the board with this solution and let it air dry.

Condition regularly

Every few weeks, apply a thin layer of food-safe mineral oil or beeswax to the surface of the cutting board. Use a clean cloth to rub the oil or wax into the wood, covering all sides and edges. This helps to prevent the wood from drying out and cracking.

Let it dry properly

After washing and sanitizing, allow your cutting board to air dry completely before storing it away. Avoid standing it upright while wet, as this can trap moisture and lead to bacterial growth.

Store properly

Store your cutting board in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. If possible, store it vertically to allow for proper air circulation around all sides of the board.

Inspect regularly

Periodically check your cutting board for signs of wear, such as deep scratches or cracks. If you notice any damage, sand the surface lightly with fine-grit sandpaper and reapply mineral oil or beeswax as needed.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your cutting board remains clean, hygienic, and in excellent condition for years to come.
