What You’ll Need:
Wood polish and conditioner (for furniture), such as Howard Feed-N-Wax Food-grade cutting board oil (for food surfaces), such as Howard Cutting Board Oil or Boos Block Mystery Oil Clean cloth
Follow These Steps:
- First, make sure your cutting board is clean and thoroughly dry.
- Apply oil to the surface of the board, and use a clean cloth to distribute the oil evenly. Then, let the oil soak in for a few hours or up to overnight.
- Using another clean cloth, wipe off any excess oil. Your cutting board should look shiny and revived, without being damp to the touch. Note: Follow these steps for oil-and-wax or stain-and-wax finishes, not painted or lacquered pieces.
- Wipe the furniture with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Follow with a dry cloth to remove any moisture.
- Apply wood polish to a clean cloth, then wipe it onto the furniture, working in the direction of the grain.
- Let the oil soak in for about 30 minutes before buffing in and wiping away any excess oil.
