Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning: After each use, clean the surface with a mild soap and warm water solution. Use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe down the butcher block, ensuring all food residues are removed. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the wood surface.

• Thorough Drying: After cleaning, immediately dry the surface with a clean, dry cloth to prevent moisture absorption, which can lead to warping or cracking.

• Oil Application: Apply an even coat of Boos Block® Mystery Oil to all surfaces of the butcher block at least once a month, or more frequently depending on usage and environmental conditions. Ensure the surface is free from any food debris, dirt, oil, or grease before applying the oil. Use a clean cloth, disposable towel, or Boos Block® applicator to apply the oil. Allow the oil to fully penetrate the wood fibers overnight, then wipe off any excess oil.

• Seal with Board Cream: For added protection, apply Boos Block® Board Cream after the oil treatment. The board cream contains natural, unbleached beeswax and food-grade oil, providing a moisture-resistant barrier. Apply an even coat using a clean cloth or applicator, allow it to penetrate overnight, and then wipe off any excess.

• Avoid Excessive Moisture: Do not immerse the butcher block in water or place it in a dishwasher. Prolonged exposure to moisture can cause the wood to swell or crack.

• Use Cutting Boards: While the butcher block is designed for direct cutting, using separate cutting boards for raw meats and strong-smelling foods can help prevent cross-contamination and odor retention.

• Prevent Heat Damage: Avoid placing hot pots or pans directly on the wood surface, as this can cause scorch marks or discoloration.

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check for any signs of wear, such as deep cuts or cracks. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
