Care instructions for your KaemonWoodworks items

Proper care is essential to ensure your KaemonWoodworks cutting boards, charcuterie boards, and furniture remain beautiful and functional for years to come. Follow these simple guidelines to protect your investment.

Maintain the beauty of your cutting and charcuterie boards

To keep your cutting boards and charcuterie boards looking amazing and prevent them from soaking up water, regular refinishing is crucial. Use mineral oil and butcher block wax to protect the wood. These boards endure frequent use and water exposure, so they require periodic refinishing to maintain their integrity and appearance. Most of our tables, however, will last a long time with minimal maintenance, primarily by keeping water off them as much as possible.

Cleaning and maintenance tips

For easy cleaning of cutting boards or charcuterie boards, use warm soapy water. Never place them in a dishwasher. If you wet one side, make sure to wet the other side to prevent warping. When drying, lean the board upright to allow for even air circulation. Applying mineral oil regularly helps prevent cracking, while beeswax creates a protective barrier against water absorption, ensuring your boards stay pristine.

What to avoid for lasting preservation

To prevent damage, absolutely do not leave your wooden items submerged in water for extended periods. While tables can withstand some water exposure, always wipe up spills promptly to prevent the liquid from soaking into the wood. For cutting boards, minimize prolonged contact with water. Following these guidelines will help preserve the quality and craftsmanship of your KaemonWoodworks products for many years.
