🧼 Care Instructions

Wash: Hand wash with warm, soapy water. Never soak or place in the dishwasher.
Dry: Dry promptly and allow the board to air dry completely before storing.
Oil: Apply cutting board oil whenever the wood begins to look or feel dry.
Condition: Apply wood conditioner as needed for deeper conditioning and protection.

Padauk contains strong natural pigments, so some color may transfer to a cloth during cleaning or conditioning, particularly when the board is new. This is normal. We recommend using a cloth you don't mind staining.
