Caring for Your Bamboo Products

Keeping your Bamboo Products Looking like New!

1. Hand wash bamboo cutting board with hot soapy water and then rinse thoroughly with clean warm water after each use. *Always sanitize cutting board after coming in contact with fresh produce, raw meat, poultry, or seafood. * If possible, use one clean cutting board for produce and a separate one for raw meat, poultry, and seafood.

2. Hand dry bamboo cutting board gently with a clean dry dish towel after washing it, rather than letting it air-dry. Don’t let water sit on your bamboo cutting board for long periods of time, because it can shorten the lifespan of the board.

3. Apply TruBamboo™ cutting board oil to your cutting board at least once a week to prevent the board from drying out and cracking or splintering and to preserve the finish. TruBamboo™ cutting board oil is a food-grade white mineral oil designed specifically for bamboo cutting boards. Apply a small amount of the oil to a cloth and apply it to your cutting board. Leave the oil on the board for 2 to 3 hours to allow it to be absorbed into the bamboo. After that time has passed, use a clean cloth to remove any excess oil that remains on the board.

 Note: Some TruBamboo™ bamboo cutting boards and kitchen utensils are top shelf dishwasher safe. They will be clearly marked on the packaging or item.
