To care for a wooden cutting board, wash it with warm soapy water after each use, dry it thoroughly, and oil it regularly with food-grade mineral oil to prevent warping, cracking, and drying out.

Cleaning:

• Wash thoroughly:
  After each use, wash the cutting board with warm, soapy water.

• Dry immediately:
  Thoroughly dry the board, standing it upright to prevent warping and cracking. 

• Avoid soaking:
  Never soak a wooden cutting board in water, as this can cause it to warp or crack. 

• Avoid the dishwasher:
  Wooden cutting boards are NOT dishwasher-safe; the heat and moisture can damage the wood. 

• To remove food odors, scrub with salted lemon or use vinegar.

Oiling:

• Regularly oil:

  Apply food-grade mineral oil to the board to nourish the wood and prevent it from drying out. Do NOT use cooking oil.

• Frequency:

  Oil the board every few weeks, or more often if it's used daily.

• Application:

  Apply a generous amount of oil and rub it into the board with a cloth or paper towel.

• Let it absorb:

  Allow the oil to fully absorb into the wood before using the board again.
