Care and Cleaning

• Use a scrubber or a crush with a neutral detergent to wash and wipe off the water and dry it. It is effective in preventing mold and darkening. Also, bleach is effective for removing stubborn grime. We recommend using bleach that contains disinfectant (Use household bleach available in stores).
• Use a?Cutting Board Scraper to erase tough spots, yellowing, molds, grooves, and feathering from the surface of your cutting board.
