- Just wash and wipe dry
- For stubborn stain use on of the following:
– Use white vinegar soak in cloth, wipe cutting board, let it sit for few minutes, rinse and ready to go

CAUTION
Don’t soak in water for a long period of time. Even though it is extremely durable wood, it can crack so treat your cutting board with care.
Clean and Oil
Clean your cutting board with cut lemon as the ascorbic acid in the lemon both reacts and oxidize organic material (bacteria and fats) that are the cause of smells and stains.
- Use only food grade mineral oil to oil your cutting board. Do not use vegetable oil or coconut oil as it can turn rancid.
