Its much simpler than you think! Avoid soap and use dilute vinegar to sanitize your board. Soap doesn't kill bacteria, it simply washes away dirt and grease. Vinegar will sanitize without striping the wood of oil.
Soap strips the wood of oils, just like it does when you over wash your hands. This will leave the board dry and susceptible to cracking and splintering. Wood hates water but loves oil, just like a cast iron pan! Keep your wooden kitchen products oiled and waxed and they will last a lifetime. Plus they get better with more use!

Not to worry, keep following our care instructions and keep using the board and in no time it will feel as smooth as a baby's bottom again!

There are a number of products out there you can use. We HIGHLY recommend the soak and seal combo over at bumblechutes.com.
