1. Hand wash only with a mild detergent in hot water, rinse and wipe dry immediately after each use. Dry in an upright position.
2. Periodically treat bamboo surfaces with a solution of warm water with baking soda and lemon juice; rinse and wipe dry immediately. Allow cutting board to fully dry and then apply one or more coats of food-grade mineral oil (food-grade beeswax, coconut, carnauba oils are suitable alternatives), wipe off any excess oil with a clean cloth. The application of oil helps restore the bamboo to its original brightness/colour and extend the life of the product.
