Cutting board maintenance

To extend the life of your brand new cutting board, please follow these maintenance tips :

• Your board is pre-oiled. However, we suggest that you still apply a new coat of Rabot D. Bois maintenance oil before starting to use it. You can also use mineral oil, sold in pharmacies as a laxative... be careful not to drink too much! ;)
• Do not use edible oils, such as vegetable, olive, peanut, or other oils used in food preparation, as they will go rancid (rot).
• NEVER put the board in the dishwasher.
• NEVER leave the board soaking in water.
• Wash the board with regular dish soap.
• Dry immediately after washing.
• Apply a new coat of maintenance oil every month, or depending on how the board is used, according to the instructions on the oil bottle.
• If the wood turns pale, it's time to add a coat. If liquids are easily absorbed by the wood, it's time to put a coat on too.
• The more oil you add over time, the longer you can extend the application time because the wood will be more and more saturated with oil.
