Here are a few tips that will help you keep your cutting board in its perfect form. These wouldn’t even take a lot of your time and the results are definitely worth it!

  1. Simply clean your board using a damp cloth after each use.
  2. Air dry or towel dry it.
  3. Treat your cutting board with mineral oil after every 3-4 uses. It will protect the wood from getting too dry, stains and warps. Just rub some on after washing it and let it soak in.
  4. Do not soak the wooden cutting board in water. This goes for other wooden utensils such as spoons.
  5. If your board gets knife marks, sand the surface with a very fine sandpaper. Then oil the cutting board and return it to its fabulous condition.
