After each use, wash your Wooden Chopping Board by hand using warm water, mild washing-up liquid and a soft cloth or sponge. Dry it immediately with a clean towel and stand it upright so air can circulate around both sides. Never leave your board soaking in water, as excessive moisture can damage the wood over time.

Applying a food-safe oil every few weeks helps nourish the timber, reduces moisture absorption and enhances the natural colour and grain. Our Chopping Boards are finished using food-safe products, and regular re-oiling will help maintain both their appearance and durability. If the surface begins to look dry or dull, it's usually time for another light coat of oil.

Following our Wood Species Guide will help you understand the characteristics of different hardwoods, but every timber benefits from the same basic care. Never place your board in a dishwasher, leave it submerged in water or expose it to direct heat from radiators, ovens or prolonged sunlight. These simple precautions will help prevent warping, splitting and unnecessary drying.
