Care & Maintenance
The final part of the Art and Science of Chopping Boards will show you how to easily maintain your chopping board!
Your chopping board is often used multiple times a day and this constant cycle of chopping, cleaning and drying will eventually take its toll on even the best of boards without proper care and maintenance.
Wood is considered anti-bacterial because of its ability to wick moisture away from its surface and trap bacteria within its grain structure, drying it out and killing it. This process is only effective though, if the amount of liquid absorbed in the first place is kept to a minimum - by retaining the boards ability to repel liquid!
Don’t worry though, its not as complicated as it sounds and by following the below guide you can prevent damaging your board, keep it hygienic, looking fresh and increase its lifespan for years to come!
And that’s it!
