Care & Maintenance
To preserve the natural beauty and performance of the maple wood, hand wash the board with mild soap and warm water after use, then dry thoroughly before storing. Regular application of a food-safe board oil or conditioner helps maintain moisture balance, reduce drying, and preserve the wood's appearance over time. Avoid prolonged soaking, dishwasher cleaning, or extended exposure to excessive heat or moisture.
