Care instructions
Cleaning Your Board
Hand Wash Only: Never put your charcuterie boards or custom woodworking items in the dishwasher. The high heat and chemicals will warp and crack the wood. Mild Soap: Clean your cutting boards and serving trays with warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap. Dry Immediately: Wipe off excess water with a towel and allow the wood products to air dry standing on their edge. This prevents moisture from being trapped underneath.
Maintenance & Oiling
Monthly Oiling: Every 2–4 weeks (or when your charcuterie boards, cutting boards, or serving trays look 'thirsty' or dull), apply a generous coat of food-grade mineral oil. Conditioning: For extra protection, follow the oil with a wood conditioner containing beeswax. This creates a moisture barrier to prevent stains on your custom woodworking projects and other wood products. Avoid Food Oils: Never use vegetable, olive, or canola oils, as they can go rancid over time.
Deep Cleaning & Deodorizing
Lemon & Salt: If your charcuterie boards start to hold odors (like onion or garlic), sprinkle coarse salt over the surface and rub it with half a lemon. Rinse and dry as usual. Sanitizing: You can lightly mist your cutting boards or serving trays with a 50/50 water and white vinegar solution for natural disinfection, ensuring all your wood products remain fresh.
IMPORTANT Reminders!
No Soaking: Never leave your charcuterie boards or custom woodworking submerged in a sink of water.
Avoid Direct Heat: Do not store cutting boards or serving trays near the stove or in direct sunlight, as extreme temperature changes can cause the wood products to split.
