Prep work is part of every meal, so it's essential that your daily-use kitchen tools are well-made. We designed the Matheson Cutting Board with durability and daily function in mind.
First Use
Your Matheson Cutting Board comes pre-oiled with Walrus Oil and is ready to use right out of the package. We recommend giving it a light rinse with cool water to remove any packaging fibres before first use.
Washing
Wash your Cutting Board using cold or room temperature water and a mild dish soap. Avoid soaking the board or using a dishwasher — high heat and prolonged moisture can warp or crack the wood.
Drying
After washing, air dry the board by standing it on its side. Let it dry completely before storing or laying it flat again.
Stains & Smells
If the Cutting Board develops stains or odours over time, scrub the area with lemon juice and salt or white vinegar. Do not use chemical cleaners or bleach, as they may damage the wood.
Protecting & Oiling
Once your board is clean and dry, apply a small amount of food-safe oil such as Walrus Oil — which is included with your purchase. Using a cloth or your hand, rub the oil into the wood until all surfaces are evenly coated.
Stand the board on its edge to air dry. After several hours, buff away any excess oil with a clean, dry cloth.
Repair
If your board has deep scratches or knife marks, gently sand the surface using fine-grit sandpaper (320–800 grit), always moving in the direction of the grain. Wipe off the dust with a damp cloth, then re-oil the board following the instructions above. Let the oil soak in overnight, and wipe away any residue before storing.
Periodic sanding and oiling will help keep your board in excellent condition for years to come.
