Natural Wood Care Instructions:

  • We apply a natural mineral oil finish.  This allows the wood to breathe, which is the key to durability.  It is especially important to continue this process during the first year.
  • A light application of mineral oil with a paper towel once a month for the first year and quarterly thereafter will insure longevity and stability.  You need only a few drops of oil on the surface and blend in well with a paper towel. 
  • Your top is designed to be used as a working surface.  Clean with a mild solution of warm water and liquid dishwashing soap.  Rinse with clear water and wipe dry with a paper or cotton towel.  After heavy use, we suggest cleaning with a solution of one part chlorine bleach mixed with ten parts water.  Rinse with clear water and dry with paper or cotton towel.  Once the surface is dry, apply a light coat of mineral oil on the surface.  You need only a few drops of oil on the surface and blend in well with a paper towel.
  • Recent studies show that unhealthy bacteria survive on plastic cutting boards but die quickly on wooden ones.  
  • We recommend an occasional application of fresh lemon juice to deodorize the work surface.
  • Scratches, burns from hot pots, stains, etc. can be removed by sanding with a medium grit sandpaper, or try scraping with a paint scraper.  After removing, follow up with a few drops of mineral oil to the area blended in with a paper towel.
