Board Cleaning System

Includes: 8 oz Cutting Board Soap and 4 oz Cutting Board Scrub

Two complementary levels of cleaning for everything from ordinary washing to the stubborn buildup that needs a little more attention.

Cutting boards work directly beneath the chopping, slicing, carving, and serving that happen every day. Food residue, oils, and repeated use can gradually collect along the surface, within knife marks, and around the edges. The Oakholm Board Cleaning System provides a straightforward way to handle both routine washing and deeper cleaning without making wood care unnecessarily complicated.

Cutting Board Soap is the everyday cleaner, formulated to lift ordinary food residue and surface grime while remaining appropriate for hardworking kitchen wood. Cutting Board Scrub adds gentle physical cleaning power when the board needs more than soap alone.

Used together, the soap and scrub form a workable cleaning mixture that reaches into textured grain and knife marks to loosen stubborn residue and buildup. After rinsing and drying, the wood is clean and properly prepared for conditioning with Oakholm Cutting Board Oil and Cutting Board Wax.

Why it earns a place in the routine

1. Provides separate solutions for routine washing and more intensive cleaning.
2. Helps remove food residue, surface grime, and stubborn buildup without relying on an unnecessarily harsh cleaning process.
3. Reaches into knife marks, textured grain, and other areas where residue can collect.
4. Prepares the wood for more effective conditioning with Cutting Board Oil and Cutting Board Wax.

Best for: Wood cutting boards, butcher blocks, carving boards, serving boards, wooden utensils, rolling pins, bowls, and other washable food-preparation wood surfaces.

How to use

For routine cleaning

1. Rinse the surface briefly with warm water. Do not soak the wood.
2. Apply a small amount of Cutting Board Soap to a damp sponge, cloth, or cleaning brush.
3. Wash the surface thoroughly, working with the grain and paying attention to knife marks and heavily used areas.
4. Rinse with warm water, towel-dry immediately, and allow the wood to finish drying upright with airflow around it.

For deeper cleaning

1. Begin with a damp surface. Apply a small amount of Cutting Board Scrub and enough Cutting Board Soap to create a workable cleaning mixture.
2. Scrub gently with a damp sponge, cloth, or cleaning brush, concentrating on stained areas, textured grain, and stubborn buildup.
3. Rinse thoroughly with warm water to remove all soap, scrub, and loosened residue.
4. Towel-dry immediately, then allow the wood to dry completely upright before applying any oil or wax.
