Care Instructions

Care & Usage Instructions

  • As each board is crafted from natural wood, variations in grain, colour, and natural markings are part of its unique character.
  • Hand wash only. Not suitable for dishwasher use.
  • Before use, lightly wet the surface with water to help reduce the absorption of food odours and stains.
  • Over time, knife marks may appear on the surface. To help minimise their appearance, place a damp cloth over the area and gently apply a warm iron.
  • Natural tannins in the wood may occasionally cause darkening or discolouration. If desired, the surface can be lightly sanded to restore its appearance.
  • Dry thoroughly after washing and store in a well-ventilated area.
