Keep your boards beautiful with simple daily care.
❤️ Love Your Board. It Will Last a Lifetime."
Intro: This board was handcrafted for you. Intentional imperfections give it a natural look. Finish is USA-made, ultra-pure, FDA Food Contact Safe — Certified Vegetarian by the American Vegetarian Association.
01 — Cleaning: Scrub with a sponge and dish detergent under hot water after each use. Store on its edge — never flat — to prevent warping.
02 — Critical Note:
Never place your board in a dishwasher or submerge it in water. Heat and prolonged moisture will warp or crack the wood.
03 — Disinfecting: Diluted bleach solution per FDA guidelines — one tablespoon per gallon of water. Flood the surface, let stand for several minutes, rinse, and dry.
04 — Deodorizing: Coat in coarse sea salt overnight. Work a halved lemon across the board while juicing it. Rest 5–10 minutes, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
05 — Oiling: Oil regularly — weekly, monthly, or seasonally. A well-❤️ loved board will last for years.
"Much ❤️ Love — Wosta."
A well-made cutting board, especially one crafted from walnut, cherry, or maple, can last decades with the right care. At Koshur Chaan, every board leaves our Johns Creek, Georgia studio finished with an FDA food-contact-safe oil-and-wax blend. But regular home maintenance is what keeps it beautiful for life. Here's exactly what to do.
Frequently asked questions
❤️ Love Your Board. It Will Last a Lifetime.
This board was handcrafted for you. Finish is USA-made, ultra-pure, FDA Food Contact Safe — Certified Vegetarian by the American Vegetarian Association.
01 How do I clean my board after each use?
Scrub with a sponge and dish detergent under hot water after every use. Always store your board on its edge — never flat — to allow airflow and prevent warping.
02 Can I put my board in the dishwasher?
Never. Do not place your board in a dishwasher or submerge it in water. Heat and prolonged moisture will warp or crack the wood and significantly shorten its life.
03 How do I disinfect my board?
Use a diluted bleach solution per FDA guidelines: one tablespoon of bleach per gallon of water. Flood the clean surface, let it stand for several minutes, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
04 How do I remove odors from my board?
Coat the surface with coarse sea salt and work a halved lemon across the board, juicing it into the salt. Let it rest 5–10 minutes, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. The salt draws out moisture and odors; the lemon naturally deodorizes.
05 How often should I oil my board?
Oil regularly—weekly for heavy-use boards, monthly or seasonally for occasional-use boards. Regular oiling keeps the wood hydrated, prevents cracking, and maintains the board's natural beauty. A well-loved board will last for years.
06 Is the finish food-safe?
Yes. The finish is USA-made, ultra-pure, and FDA Food Contact Safe — Certified Vegetarian by the American Vegetarian Association. It is safe for contact with all types of food.
07 Why does my board look slightly imperfect?
Intentional natural variations are a hallmark of handcrafted work. No two boards are identical — these imperfections reflect the organic character of real wood and the hands that shaped it.
08 How long will my board last?
With proper care — regular cleaning, no dishwasher, and routine oiling — your board is designed to last a lifetime. Treat it with love, and it will serve you for generations.
Much ❤️ Love
