"The Shelby" Cutting Board

How to take care of me?

Do wash me by hand. If you’re just slicing bread, you can simply wipe me off, but for moist, sticky, or pungent foods (which is most of them), you’ll need to wash and rinse it.

Do use liquid dish soap to wash me.

Do wipe me dry, and let me finish by air-drying on my side.

Don’t soak me. You can submerge me in water, but only for a quick dunk. Soaking can cause me to warp.

Don’t put me in the dishwasher. The excessive heat and harsh chemicals of the dish detergent will cause me to dry out, warp, and/or crack.

Don’t use harsh, concentrated cleaners on me.

To clean me if I get smelly cut a lemon in half and rub it over me and let it sit for a few minutes then rinse me and let me dry. If there is a stubborn stain on me you can sprinkle some salt on the lemon or sprinkle some baking soda on me and them rub me with a warm damp cloth.

When I am really dirty sanitize me after prepping raw meat. Use either straight-up white vinegar or a solution of 1 1/2 teaspoons bleach in 4 cups of water.

Once in a while I like to be bathed in the Board Butter that came with me, or a mineral oil bath is nice as well. I like this type of treatment every month or
