Home Improvement - WOOD - WOODEN BLOCK-CLEANING

Wooden Blocks-Cleaning
Oil finished butcher block tops may be cleaned as
any other table top. A damp cloth with a detergent may be
used; followed by a damp cloth to remove the detergent.
Excessive water should be avoided. All water should be
wiped up immediately. Cut raw meat and poultry on a
smooth-surfaced plastic cutting board which can be
scrubbed thoroughly with hot suds afterward.

Repeated use and cleaning will remove the oil finish.
Periodically, warm mineral oil should be applied with an
absorbent cloth or very fine steel wool to the surface
and edges. Allow oil to soak in a few minutes, then
remove all surface oil with a dry, clean cloth.
Oxidation or hardening of the oil will take approximately
6 hours.
