Regular Cleaning, Oiling, and Usage Guidance

• Wash your board with anti-bacterial soap after each use.
• Dry the board completely after washing.
• If possible, let the board dry on its edge.
• Oil and wax your board. Oiling and waxing your board prevents the two primary causes of potential damage to your board. By oiling and waxing your board you prevent foreign liquids from entering the board. Oiling and waxing also prevents the board from drying out and restores the original sheen of your boards surface.
• Never submerge the board or let is stand in water or any other liquid.
• Use both sides of your board to ensure even wear.
• Do not expose to excessive heat such as stove top burners.
