CHARCUTERIE BOARDS
& CUTTING BOARDS

HAND WASH ONLY – NEVER SUBMERGE IN WATER

To avoid bacteria, it’s important that you wash your cutting board immediately after use. Wipe the cutting board with hot soapy water, rinse it with hot water only, and just wipe it dry with a clean dishtowel. Store in a dry area.

Important:
1. Never submerge in water
2. Do not place in dishwasher or microwave

Disinfect & Deodorize Using Vinegar

I recommend keeping a spray bottle of vinegar handy to disinfect & deodorize your wood cutting boards. Acetic acid (white vinegar) is an excellent disinfectant for E. coli, Salmonella, and other household bacteria. Spray vinegar on the wood cutting board, let it sit for a few minutes, and wipe it with a damp warm cloth.

Protecting Wood Cutting Boards

I recommend treating the board frequently in order to repel food particles and prevent stains and cracks from happening. It’s best to treat the board at least once a month or twice a month if used often. It’s important to make sure that the cutting board is clean and dry before applying oils.

Using cutting board wax, coat the entire board using a lint-free cloth and light to medium pressure. Let the wax sit on the board for 20-30 minutes before buffing off the excess.

Refurbishing Wood Cutting Boards

It’s hard to avoid knife marks from accumulating on your cutting board over the years. The wonderful thing about a wood board is that it can be returned to its original splendor. All you need is two different grits of sandpaper 180 and 240. First sand the board with the 180 and finish with the fine 240 grit. Lightly wet the surface of the board, then allow to dry, do a final pass with 240 grit paper until your board feels smooth. Once you’re done with sanding, wash the board, let it dry. Once the board is dry heavily coat with cutting board oil, let sit for 40 minutes, then wipe off the excess. Do this five times in a row, after the fifth time let the board sit for 2-3 hours before coating with Redridge Board Butter.
