Caring for your wood cutting boards
Our wood boards can be the most active and versatile accessory in your Kitchen. In order to keep it looking great and to remain a long lasting utensil, it’s important that you give your wood board the proper care it requires.
Hand wash only - never submerge in water
To avoid bacteria, it’s important that you wash your cutting or serving board immediately after use. Wipe the wood board with hot soapy water, rinse it with hot water only and just wipe it dry with a clean dish towel. Store in a dry area.
Important:
1. Never submerge in water
2. Do not place in dishwasher or in a microwave
Disinfect & deodorize using vinegar
We recommend keeping a spray bottle of vinegar handy to disinfect & deodorize your serving or cutting board. Acetic acid (white vinegar) is an excellent disinfectant for E. coli, Salmonella and other household bacteria. Spray vinegar on the wood board, let sit for a few minutes and wipe it with a damp warm cloth.
Remove stains & deodorize with baking soda
Combine 2 tablespoons of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of salt and 3 tablespoons hot water to create a non-toxic cleaning agent. Mix these ingredients together to form a paste, and scrub the entire surface of the serving or cutting board. Finally, wipe it with a warm wet cloth and dry with a dish towel.
Clean with coarse salt & lemon
For an all-natural clean, first try dampening the wood cutting board with a warm cloth and sprinkling coarse salt over it. Cut a lemon in half and scour the cut side of the lemon over the serving or cutting board while slightly squeezing the lemon juice out. Let it stand for five minutes and use a scrub brush to remove the excess.
