How do you use Cutting Board Oil?

Proper application of Cutting Board Oil ensures your kitchen woodware remains hydrated, protected, and food-safe. By following these steps, you help the plant-based oils penetrate deep into the fibers to prevent cracking and moisture damage:

• Surface Preparation: Start with a clean, dry surface. If the wood has been used, wash it with mild soap and water, ensuring it is completely dry before you begin. If the surface feels rough or has deep knife marks, you can lightly sand it with fine-grit sandpaper - just be sure to wipe away all dust with a lint-free cloth before oiling.
• Initial Application: Give the bottle a quick shake to ensure the natural ingredients are well-mixed. Pour a small amount of oil directly onto the wood and use a clean, lint-free cloth or applicator to rub it into the surface. Use smooth, overlapping motions to cover the entire piece, paying extra attention to the edges and thirsty end grain.
• Absorption Period: Allow the oil to soak into the wood for about 15–20 minutes. You will notice the wood grain deepening and becoming more vibrant as it absorbs the conditioning oils.
• Wiping Away Excess: After the wood has taken what it needs, use a fresh, clean cloth to wipe off any remaining oil from the surface. Removing the excess is important to ensure the board feels smooth and clean rather than sticky.
