Cutting Board Care

Dos and Don’ts to Cutting Board Care

• Do wash your cutting board by hand. If you’re just cutting dry items, you can simply wipe it off, but juicy or sticky you’ll need to wash and rinse it.
• Do use a mild liquid dish soap to wash your cutting board.
• Do wipe your clean cutting board dry, and let it finish by air-drying on its side.
• Don’t soak a cutting board. You can submerge it in water, but only for a quick dunk. Soaking can cause the board to warp.
• Don’t put wooden cutting boards in the dishwasher. The excessive heat and harsh chemicals of the dish detergent will cause the wood to dry out, warp, and/or crack.
• Don’t put your cutting board in the microwave.
• Don’t use harsh, concentrated cleaners on your cutting board.
