Maintenance and Care
DO NOT put in a dish washer or submerge in sink water.
DO NOT use in an oven or microwave. DO NOT use as a hot plate.
Periodically, when board looks and feels dried out, or appears and feels “thirsty”, apply a rubbed on coat of Ledge Rock Wood Design conditioning balm (sold separately). Let stand for 1 hour, then buff thoroughly with a clean soft cloth, then let stand overnight for curing. The amount of time between conditioner applications depends upon usage and how often the board is washed with soapy water.
Always apply conditioner to all sides and edges, applying the conditioner to only one side will lead to uneven “breathing” of the wood and could lead to eventual warping.
DO NOT attempt to condition the board using cooking oils such as vegetable oil, olive oil etc., as these oils will eventually get rancid. Use ONLY the mineral oil(food grade) based conditioners, as provided with the board, or straight Food Grade Mineral Oil.
Extended UV light can change the color appearance over time and the vibrant wood colors, when new, will become darker.
To clean minor or insignificant food prep soiling, wipe board off with a clean damp cloth or paper towel.
To clean significant food prep soiling (bacon, meat grease, fish oil, concentrated fruit stains, etc), gently scrub or wipe down with soapy water, but DO NOT submerge in water. After washing, wipe down with a clean towel, removing all excess water, and let fully dry on its side, standing up, whereby both the top and bottom will dry completely, helping to avoid warping.
