Board Butter
After use, wipe board with paper towel. If necessary use a slightly damp cloth to remove remaining food. Never submerge in water.
After every 3 uses, apply Board Butter (mixture of mineral oil and beeswax) to board to keep it conditioned and protected. Apply butter by hand, let sit for at least 15 minutes, then wipe excess butter off with cloth.
Because board are finished in a true food safe manner various foods such as berries, yellow cheddar and artificially dyed foods are likely to stain the wood.
To refrain from staining, these foods can be placed in a bowl, on waxpaper or on a clean leaf such as lettuce.
To remove stains or common grain roughness, hand sand board with a 220 grit sand paper and then reapply board butter.
