NEVER submerge cutting boards in sink of water - not even for a second!!! Wood is porous and will soak up water causing the cutting board to crack when it dries. Wipe with hot soapy dish cloth and towel dry.  DO NOT soak your utensils.  DO NOT put in dishwasher.  Store cutting boards flat to prevent warping.

Regular monthly maintenance for when your item looks or feels dry:  Rub entire item with mineral or OZ Fine Culinary Wood Conditioner. Let it stand for five minutes before wiping off the excess oil with a dry cloth or paper towel.

Never use vegetable oils.  These oils can become rancid, which in turn, can make your product rancid and create a health problem.

To bring your hardwood utensils, cutting boards and butcher block tables back to looking and feeling like new, rub the entire item with mineral or OZ Fine Culinary Wood Conditioner.  Using fine 320-wet/dry sandpaper, apply pressure and sand with the grain using long strokes.  Wipe off the excess oil with a dry cloth or paper towel.

To eradicate garlic, onion or other smells from board, rub the board with course salt or baking soda. Let stand a few minutes and wipe salt or baking soda from board. The smell should be gone.

For non-Ozark West hardwood products that are not finished, use Behlen’s Salad Bowl Finish.  This finish is non-toxic and food safe in a cured state.  Read and follow the instructions on the can.  You can usually find this product at better woodworking retail stores.

Repeat process as needed.
