Care And Maintenance Instructions

• A minimum of once a month (depending upon the use and household conditions), apply an even coat of Boos Block® Mystery
  Oil to all surfaces of your cutting board using a clean cloth, disposable towel or Boos Block®️ applicator. The more often it is
  cleaned, the more often it should be oiled. A dry appearance is a sure sign it is time to oil your wood surface. Make sure the
  cutting board surface is free from any food debris, dirt, oil, or grease before applying Mystery Oil.
• Allow the Mystery Oil to fully penetrate through the wood fibers overnight, then wipe off any excess oil. Apply additional oil
  to any visible dry spots or for any other necessary reasons. Do not over oil your wood surface.
• For additional protection, it is recommended to use Boos Block® Board Cream to seal the wood surface in conjunction with
  the Mystery Oil. Apply an even coat of the Board Cream using a clean cloth, disposable towel or Boos Block® applicator. Allow
  the Board Cream to penetrate the wood surface overnight, then wipe off any excess cream.
• Boos Block® Mystery Oil (NSF Certified) is a food-grade mineral oil that easily absorbs and penetrates deeply into the grain
  of the wood to help protect, revitalize and moisturize the wood fibers.
• Boos Block® Board Cream (NSF Certified) contains a natural, unbleached beeswax and food-grade oil formula. The thicker
  formula provides a silky wax barrier to the wood surface to help protect against foods and liquids.
• Maintain the same bevel on the edge of your cutting board as it had when purchased. This helps prevent splitting or chipping
  on the outside of the cutting board.
• Be sure NEVER to cut continuously on the same surface area. Distribute your cutting over the entire work surface so that it
  will wear evenly. If your cutting board is reversible, it should be turned over periodically to allow even usage on both work
  surfaces.
• Minor scratches can be repaired by sanding the affected area with a fine grit (#200) sandpaper. When sanding, always sand
  with the grain. If the area needing repaired is located along the edges, lightly sand the edges into the surrounding area. Remove all dust.
  
  

Cleaning Instructions:

• Make sure the cutting board surface is free from any food debris, dirt, oil, or grease.
• Use a good steel scraper or spatula several times a day, as necessary, to keep the cutting surface clean and sanitary.
  Scraping the surface will remove 75% of the liquids. Do not use a steel brush on the cutting surface.
• With a clean cloth and mild soap and water solution, wipe the top thoroughly until all the debris is removed.
• Wash out the cloth in clean warm water, wring out, and go over the surface again to remove any remaining soap.
• Thoroughly wipe all surfaces with a clean dry towel. Allow residual surface moisture to air dry before reapplying Boos Block® Mystery Oil.
  
  

Caution

• DO NOT allow fresh, wet meats and liquids of any type to stand on the countertop surface for long periods of time. Brine,
  water, and blood, contain liquids that soak into the wood, causing the countertop surface to expand, the wood to soften, and
  affects the strength of the glued joints.
• DO NOT cut fish or poultry on the countertop surface unless you have thoroughly followed the care instructions in step #1. The moisture barrier must be intact prior to cutting any type of fish, seafood, or poultry on the countertop surface.
• DO NOT use a razor-edged cleaver or serrated knife. These may chip or splinter the wood and produce soft spots.
• DO NOT wash your cutting board with harsh detergents of any type. Harsh chemical cleaners may result in permanent damage
  and discoloration to the surface.
• DO NOT put Boos Block® wood cutting boards into the dishwasher or wash your kitchen tools on your cutting board surface.
• DO NOT over oil your wood cutting board surface.
