Wood Care To care for your handcrafted wood product, clean with a damp cloth using mild soap and water. Do not soak, place in dishwasher, or expose to extreme heat, cold or dryness. Cut marks in boards can be hand sanded. To restore wood to its original luster, re-oil using food-safe mineral oil once or twice a month, or whenever wood starts to appear dry or dull. Enjoy for years to come!
