Care & Maintenance

Premium grade, 100% food-safe mineral oil

Applying the combination of Bees Wax and Cutting Board Oil is a simple process that preserves the beauty and durability of food-safe wood surfaces like cutting boards, butcher blocks, and salad bowls.  Cutting Board Oil nourishes the wood, preventing drying, cracking, and absorbing unwanted substances. 

Materials Needed

• Lint-free cloths or applicator pads

• Rubber gloves (optional)

• Plastic sheet or drop cloth (to protect surfaces)

Tips for Success:

• Avoid Over-applying: Too much oil can leave a greasy feel. Always wipe off excess

• Reapply Cutting Board Oil every 1-3 months, depending on use. The wax will eventually come off in small amounts during cleaning. *When you notice reduced shine, it's time to re apply.

Application Process

• Ensure your work area is clean, dry, and protected from oil spills.

• Apply the Oil: Pour a small amount of Cutting Board Oil onto a cloth or applicator pad. Apply evenly in long strokes, following the wood grain. Pay extra attention to end-grain areas, which may need more oil.

• Let It Soak: Allow the oil to absorb for 15-30 minutes. If the wood looks dry, apply more oil

• Wipe Off Excess: Use a clean, dry cloth to remove any excess oil.

• Let It Dry: Allow the board to dry for at least 4-6 hours before use. For best results, apply 2 coats, letting each coat dry fully before the next.
