Caring for your board
Clean:
Use a damp cloth or paper towel to wipe the board with a small amount of vinegar and water to loosen any left-over food residue and disinfect the board.
Deodorize:
- Sprinkle coarse sea salt all over the board. Let the sea salt sit overnight so it can draw out any lingering bacteria.
- Cut a lemon in half and use each piece to work the salt around the board. Be sure to juice the lemon as you are scrubbing. Let the lemon juice/salt mixture sit on your board for 5-10 minutes before wiping away with a damp cloth.
- Use white vinegar to spray the cutting board. The vinegar will neutralize odors while working as an all-natural disinfectant.
Condition:
This conditioning method is simple, inexpensive and effective. It will keep your boards looking gorgeous.
- Apply mineral oil to your board with a soft cloth. Wipe the board, going with the grain, making sure to condition all areas including the sides and back of the board.
- Buff the oil into the board with a dry cloth.
