Your board in the first year.

No schedule to remember. A generous start, then 5 minutes twice a month. That's all.

01

Generously oil

A thick layer of maintenance oil, leave to soak in overnight. Only then put into use.

02

First treatment

20 ml oil, rub in thinly with a cloth. Five minutes of work.

03

2x per month

Always the same treatment. Does the wood feel dry? Then a bit sooner.

04

Layer of beeswax

Seals the pores and keeps moisture out. Plus extra shine.

What you don't do.

01

The dishwasher

Water and heat are the quickest way to make a board crack. Always hand wash.

02

Cooking oil

Oil from the kitchen cupboard will go rancid in the wood. Only use TheWootz maintenance oil, 100% grapeseed oil.

03

To soak

A board that remains in the wash will absorb water and warp. Wash briefly, dry immediately.
