WOODEN BOARDS Because wood is sourced from nature and is a raw material, some precautions and care need to be taken in order to extend its life span.
• Prior the first use, wash with mild neutral soap and run water thoroughly to remove all soap. Dry it with a clean cloth. • After the first clean, it is recommended to rub a little bit of olive oil around the whole board. • After each use, clean with mild neutral soap and thoroughly dry the board with a clean cloth. • Never soak a wooden board. • Do not let the product dry under the sun or any other heat source. This process may deform and damage the board. • Do not place boards inside the oven. Boards need to be at a minimum distance of 1.5m of a direct or high heat source not to deform. • Do not place boards inside a fridge or freezer. It may deform the board the same way a heat source does. • Do not stack boards over each other whilst wet. • Do not let the product dry on a table or flat surface. The bottom of the board may be wet. Instead, dry it with a clean cloth and let it stand vertically in a dish rack. • Store your boards in a clean, dry and ventilated place in order to avoid bacteria and fungus to attach to the wood. • Wooden boards are NOT DISHWASHER SAFE.
