For daily cleaning, wash your board with warm soapy water and dry immediately with a clean cloth. Never soak the board or put it in the dishwasher. For deeper cleaning, use a mixture of white vinegar and water (1:4 ratio) to sanitize, followed by a food-grade mineral oil treatment. This maintains both cleanliness and the board’s natural moisture balance.
For optimal maintenance, apply food-grade mineral oil every 2-4 weeks for the first three months of use. After that, oil your board monthly or when the wood appears dry. In drier climates, you may need to oil more frequently. Apply oil generously, let it soak overnight, and wipe off excess in the morning for best results.
Our cutting boards are crafted from premium-grade hardwoods, primarily maple, walnut, and cherry. These woods are specifically chosen for their durability, natural antibacterial properties, and resistance to knife marks. Each wood type is sustainably sourced and carefully selected for its grain pattern and strength.
Our cutting boards are engineered to minimize warping through proper wood selection, grain orientation, and construction techniques. However, to prevent warping, always store your board on its edge in a dry place, avoid excessive moisture exposure, and never leave it soaking in water or lying flat in standing water.
Consider your counter space and typical food prep needs. For general household use, we recommend our medium-sized board (16″x12″). Professional cooks might prefer our large (20″x15″) board. If you’re mainly cutting small items or have limited space, our small (12″x8″) board is ideal. Remember that larger boards offer more versatility but require more storage space.
Yes, our boards are specifically designed to be gentle on knife edges while remaining durable. The hardwoods we use have the perfect hardness level to allow for slight give under your knife without dulling the blade. This helps maintain both your knives and the board’s surface for longer periods.
With proper care and maintenance, our cutting boards can last for generations. The lifespan largely depends on care and usage, but most customers report 10-20 years of regular use without significant degradation. Following our care instructions and performing regular maintenance will maximize your board’s longevity.
Yes, all our cutting boards come with a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects, including delamination and warping under normal use conditions. This warranty doesn’t cover damage from misuse, improper care, or natural wood movement. We also offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
Yes, all our boards are designed for double-sided use. One side features a juice groove for meats and juicy ingredients, while the other side is flat for general chopping and preparation. This design maximizes versatility and extends the board’s useful life.
For stains, create a paste using baking soda and water, apply it to the stained area, and let it sit for several minutes before wiping clean. For odors, rub the surface with coarse salt and half a lemon, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse and dry. For stubborn stains or odors, you can also lightly sand the affected area and re-oil the board.
