How to look after your wooden chopping board
You have purchased your personalised solid wood chopping board and are over the moon with your purchase. Now how do you look after and maintain the look of your bespoke chopping board?
Your personalised chopping board will come to you already treated and ready to use. There are 2 ways that your chopping board can be treated, one of these is food grade mineral oil. This mineral oil soaks into the wood and prevents the wood from cracking and becoming dry and brittle, mineral oil is also flavorless and odorless so perfect for your custom made chopping board.
The other way to preserve and protect your boards are to use natural bees wax. Bees wax coats your copping board and gives a protective layer against liquids and water. The bees wax leaves a lovely sheen and exuberates the woods structure and grains on your personalised chopping board.
With these two methods in mind, we at Spade with Love actually use a combination of both mineral oil and bees wax to offer full protection for your persoanalised chopping board. We use a wood butter that has a nourishing blend of British Beeswax and food grade mineral oil to condition and protect your cutting board.
We would recommend that you never fully submerge your solid wood chopping board in water as this will lead to swelling and cracking of the board. To clean your board we would recommend warm soapy water to clean your solid wood cutting board down and then dry off with a tea towel, we recommend not leaving water or liquids on the chopping board for prolonged periods of time.
We would recommend using wood butter, minerial oil or natural bees wax every 1-2 months to keep your personalised chopping board in tip top condition.
