01
Wash by hand
Warm water, mild soap and a cloth or soft brush. Never put a hardwood board in the dishwasher.
Care
Simple: keep it clean, keep it dry, and give it oil now and then.
02
Dry upright
Wipe dry straight away and stand the board on its edge — the stand is built for this — so air reaches both faces.
03
Oil when it looks dry
When the grain starts to look pale or thirsty, apply a food-safe board oil, let it soak in, and wipe off the excess.
04
Keep it out of extremes
Avoid soaking, prolonged damp, direct sun and radiators. Sudden drying is what warps wood.
05
Refresh the surface
Light scratches are normal. A gentle sand with fine paper followed by oil brings the face back.
06
Keep prep separate
Using the dedicated meat and fish board for raw proteins keeps the other two cleaner for longer.
