Butcher Blocks and wooden cutting boards can last for many years when they are well taken care of. They outperform and are ecologically superior to plastic.
For optimal upkeep of butcher blocks and wooden cutting boards, adhere to these simple maintenance steps:

1. After each use, wash the board with warm, soapy water, ensuring thorough coverage. Rinse it well and promptly dry it with a clean cloth.
2. Periodically, give the board a more intensive cleanse by scrubbing it with a mixture of coarse salt and half a lemon. Rinse the board thoroughly with warm water, ensuring all residue is removed. Then, dry it thoroughly and apply a light coat of mineral oil to replenish its natural moisture. Avoid using vegetable oil as it can become rancid over time.
3. Should your board accumulate stubborn grease, employ this effective remedy: Cover the affected area with a generous amount of salt and allow it to sit overnight. The following day, use a stiff-bristled brush to scrub away the salt, ensuring to remove all traces of grease. Proceed with the standard cleaning process outlined above.

By diligently following these maintenance practices, your wooden cutting surface will retain its quality and durability for years to come!
