- Before using your products for the first time, hand-wash with warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
- Do not soak or leave food residue on the product for long periods of time.
- Although the Polywood products are water-resistant and dishwasher-safe, harsh dishwasher detergents may dull the finish of the handles and stain the blades over time.
- Therefore, to preserve the beauty and cutting performance of your products, we recommend hand washing and thoroughly drying after each use.
- Before using your cutting board for the first time, wipe with a damp cloth or sponge if needed and towel dry. Never soak board in water, as this will cause the wood to separate and ruin the product.
- To enhance the stain-resistant properties of the board, season with a food-grade mineral oil prior to first use and occasionally recondition to maintain stain resistance.
- To season the boards properly, apply the oil in the direction of the wood grain using a clean, dry cloth. Allow the oil to soak in and repeat with another application.
- After allowing the second coat of oil to soak in to the boards for a few minutes, wipe off excess oil.
- Do not use in the microwave or conventional oven and never place near a heat source. This can cause permanent damage to the wood.
HAND-WASH ONLY! Never place the cutting board in the dishwasher. The high heat, pressure and humidity inside a dishwasher will damage the wood and cause mold to develop, which will ruin the product.
- Around the edge of the board features a specially designed groove to channel meat and food juices. After each use, be certain to adequately clean entire groove.
- After each use, hand-wash immediately with warm soapy water to prevent food from drying onto the wood. Never scrub with hard bristles or abrasive cloths or pads as this will scratch the surface. Rinse with warm water, towel dry immediately and air-dry completely prior to storage.
- Exposing your serving boards to excessive amounts of water can cause the wood to warp or crack. NEVER SOAK YOUR CUTTING BOARD IN ANY LIQUID.
