Taking Care of Wood

 

HOW TO OIL AND SAND

 

Perform this treatment regularly to prevent your wooden utensils and cutting boards from drying out. Remember, never leave wood soaking in water or wash it in a dishwasher, as this may cause damage and possible cracking.

 

 

 

You will need:

 

• Dish soap
• Coarse salt.
• Lemon.
• Coconut oil.
• Fine sandpaper.

 

 

 

STEP 1:

 

Hand wash your cutting board with dish soap. Dry thoroughly.

 

 

 

 

STEP 2:

 

Scrub the coarse salt with a lemon. This deeply cleans your board and removes odors.

 

 

 

 

STEP 3:

 

Rinse off your cutting board and let it stand to dry.

 

 

 

 

STEP 4:

 

Sand your cutting board with fine sandpaper until the surface is smooth.

 

 

 

STEP 5:

 

Use a cloth to rub in the coconut oil. This helps prevent your cutting board from drying out.
