Cutting Board Care Instructions

Cleaning:

1. Take a damp sponge or damp paper towel to wipe your cutting board down after each use. Or simply rinse your cutting board; just make sure to lean it up to dry (don’t lay it flat; this will avoid warping).
2. Use soap sparingly, and only when your board has raw meat on it. Excessive amounts of washing with soap will require more regular oiling. 

Long Term Care:

If you notice your cutting board finish becoming dull or nonexistent in some areas…

1. First, your board must be dry and clean. Take Cutting Board Oil - RMP Finishes and squeeze some on the middle of the board; a little goes a long way. I recommend doing this over your kitchen sink. 
2. Using your hands, rub it into the whole board. 
3. Let the board sit in the sink overnight, allowing the Cutting Board Oil to soak in. 
4. Take your Cutting Board Wax - RMP Finishes and your hand or Scotch-Brite pad. Take a small dollop of the finish onto the board and rub it in thoroughly with your hand or a Scotch-Brite pad. Cover every inch of the board with the wax.
5. Let the wax sit overnight, leaned up on edge.
6. Next morning, wipe any excess wax off, and buff with a clean paper towel.

If you ever need to lightly sand your cutting board, use 220-grit sandpaper or a Scotch-Brite pad and wipe all dust off before you reapply the finish.
