Before using the chopping board for the first time Rinse with hot water and mild detergent before use. To make it easier to protect your chopping board against grease and to increase its natural resistance to moisture, it should be treated with oil approved for contact with food, for instance vegetable oil. Oil once, wipe off any surplus oil and then repeat the treatment 24 hours later.

Looking after your chopping board

The wooden and metal parts can be separated for easier cleaning. The metal tray should be washed by hand.
Clean your chopping board by wiping it with a clean cloth or scrubbing it with a brush. Do not soak the chopping board or leave it in water for a prolonged period of time. This can cause the wood to split.
Dry the chopping board carefully but do not use high temperatures to speed up the drying process.
To recondition the chopping board, it may be rubbed with medium fine sandpaper and re-oiled.
