HAND WASH ONLY
(IMPORTANT: Do NOT leave submerged in water, and NEVER place in the dishwasher!)
Every board or block should be cleaned after every use. For best results, wipe the board immediately after use with hot soapy water. Rinse it immediately with hot water only. Dry with a dry clean dish towel.
Allow to air dry upright before storage (this will prevent moisture from being trapped on one side if placed on the counter). Store upright whenever possible to allow both sides to breathe.
Putting a board in the dishwasher will destroy it!
Unsealed wood cannot stand prolonged exposure to water and heat. Leaving a board susubmerged in water or prolonging it's exposure to water will allow the water to penetrate the board and cause the cutting board to warp, fade, and crack.
