Wood Care

Butcher BlockHere are four steps for cleaning and caring for your cheese board or butcher block:

1) Wash wood with soapy water after every use.
2) Dry the wood immediately after washing to avoid water damage.
3) Apply mineral oil a couple times a month.
4) Do not run the items through the dishwasher!


To prevent the transmission of bacteria, it is a good idea to use a new sponge to clean your cheese board or butcher block. To treat board for any lingering scents or stains, gently rub the surface down with lemon juice (or half a lemon). This acts as a natural bleaching agent.

Does it damage the wood to rub mineral oil on it too often? No, you probably cannot apply mineral oil too often, although a few times a month should suffice.
