Wood Care:

Butcher Block and Cutting Board Care Instructions are engraved on the bottom of every butcher block and cutting board that goes out the door at Vermont Butcher Block, so you can never lose them.

1. Wash with soap and water after use.
2. Dry immediately.
3. Rub with mineral oil 2-3 times per month.
4. Do not place in the dishwasher.

We would also suggest using a clean or new sponge for your board to help prevent bacteria transmissions. That’s it. If for some reason your board develops a smell ~ such as garlic ~ or a stain ~ such as strawberry ~ and you would like to rid your board of that smell or stain you can slice a lemon in half and rub over the entire surface. The lemon will bleach and scour the board.

We get a lot of questions about how much mineral oil should be put on one of our products. The answer is “never enough.” Our products are soaked in a vat of FDA approved food grade mineral oil before they leave our shop. When you put your first application of mineral oil on your product, you will either see it soak in or not soak in over a 15-20 minute period. If it soaks in and the wood is dry to the touch, you can rub it down again immediately with more mineral oil. If the oil has pooled on the surface of the block, then you can just wipe it off with paper towels and be comfortable that you are properly caring for your product.
Using bleach on your product is not recommended.

Note ~ From The Cookware Shoppe Staff: The USDA recommends the regular cleaning application of a solution of 1 teaspoon bleach per quart of water regardless of the construction material of your cutting board!
