How do I wash my board?

Washing a wooden cutting board correctly is very important to its longevity. If done right the board can last a lifetime. Immediately after use, lightly rinse BOTH sides with room temp water. This will allow the board to dry evenly and prevent warping. Ironically soap is not good for a wood cutting board because it dries it out faster.

Once finished - pat dry and place the board VERTICALLY to dry overnight. If you do not dry the board vertically it will warp.

How often do I oil/condition my board?

If you live in a dry climate and/or use your board multiple times per week, we suggest adding food grade mineral oil or conditioner to your board once per month. Walrus Cutting Board Oil is a great option.

lf you don’t use the board often - every few months should do. You can always give your board an eye test. If it looks dry, it probably is. Here is a video that offers thorough direction - How to Clean a Cutting Board.

Can I put the board in the dishwasher?

NEVER PUT A MÄNRESA BOARD IN THE DISHWASHER. OR ANY OTHER WOOD CUTTING BOARD.

How do I prevent warping?

Think of mineral oil and conditioner like RainX for your cutting board. It stops water from soaking into the wood. If water soaks deep into the cutting board, most likely you will see warping. The three most important things you can do: 1) never put in the dishwasher, 2) use as little soap as possible, and 3) add food grade mineral oil/conditioner when the board dries out.
