Wood Serving Board Care Instructions
How to properly care for your wood serving board
Laser engraved boards have been cleaned and sealed with food safe walrus oil ** before packaging. They may have burn residue that leaves the water discolored after first few washes. That is normal.
BEFORE USING YOUR CHEESE BOARD SET:
Proper handling and cleaning will ensure that your serving board will serve you well for years to come. Do NOT put the board into your dishwasher or soak in the sink, it may warp or crack.
HOW TO CLEAN THE SERVING BOARD AFTER USING IT:
WASHING:
Using a soft cloth or paper towel, hand wash using a gentle cleaning solution or white vinegar. Avoid harsh or abrasive detergents. Do not submerge in water. Avoid using a scouring pad as this may damage the surface. A soft dish brush is a better alternative if you have stubborn stains. Allow to dry completely.
DRYING:
After washing, use a dry cloth or paper towels to dry your board. Too much moisture could warp the board. Allow to air dry completely before storing.
OILING:
Boards are sealed with food grade walrus oil ** or mineral oil.
Regular application will preserve wood and prevent it from drying out. This will also prevent bacteria from growing in engraved spaces. Do not use vegetable or olive oil. These oils will go rancid.
Rub the food-grade oil all over your board (a little goes a long way) using a soft cloth or paper towel. (We like to use microfiber cloths) Let it soak in overnight and rub off any excess. We recommend doing this once a month. Oiling your board will help keep the surface looking great for years to come.
CLEANING OTHER PARTS OF YOUR CHEESE BOARD SET:
CERAMIC BOWLS:
If your board came with 4 white ceramic bowls, they are dishwasher safe. Make sure they are dry before storing them back with the board.
CHEESE KNIVES (w/wood handles):
Wet paper towels or a soft dishcloth work best for cleaning these. Once done, let them dry completely before putting them back into the board.
