How to Wax Your Cutting Board
To properly care for your cutting board, we recommend that you apply a wax/oil mix to the board whenever it begins to absorb water instead of repel.
Typically, this occurs after a month of consistent use. We recommend that our customers re-apply wax to their board(s) monthly if possible.
Please verify that all products used on the board are food safe. Our Heartwood Board Wax is specifically for our cutting boards and wood types.
Follow the steps below to properly wax your cutting board:
Clean the board with soap and water and let it dry. Read more on this.
Apply board wax mixture with a rag to the cutting surface and sides of the board.
Let your board sit for 3-5 minutes to absorb the finish.
Wipe away excess finish. Steps 2 through 4 may be repeated to reach desired finish.
