How to Care for and Maintain Your Cutting Board
Cleaning Your Cutting Board
When it comes to cleaning your handmade cutting board, avoid submerging it in water or putting it in the dishwasher. Excessive water can warp the wood and damage its finish. Instead, use running water and a soft rag to gently wipe down the surface. This method effectively removes food particles without harming the board.
Drying Your Board
After cleaning, it’s crucial to dry your cutting board thoroughly. Start by towel-drying the surface, then allow it to air dry completely. Placing your board upright or in a well-ventilated area ensures all moisture evaporates, preventing mold or mildew growth. This step is crucial in any cutting board maintenance routine!
Applying Maintenance Gel
Once your board is dry, it’s time to pamper it with maintenance gel. This nourishing treatment from David Mason Creations enriches the wood, enhancing its natural beauty while providing a protective barrier against moisture and stains. Remember to apply the gel periodically, especially if the board looks dry.
Regular Maintenance Checks
Make it a habit to inspect your custom woodwork regularly. If the surface starts to appear dull or dry, it’s an indication that it’s time to add maintenance gel. Regular upkeep will keep your custom woodwork looking stunning and functional for all your culinary adventures.
