Using your Stelton Sixtus Chopping Board is easy. Just place it on a flat surface and start chopping your ingredients. The juice groove will catch any liquids or small bits, so your countertop stays clean. When you're done, clean the board with mild dish soap and warm water. Don't soak it for too long, as the wood might absorb too much water. After cleaning, dry it thoroughly with a towel. To keep it in good condition, re - oil the board with food - grade oil every few months. This will maintain its beautiful surface and antibacterial properties. Remember, this board is a natural product, so small variations in color and texture are normal. If you're not satisfied, you can return it within 30 days.
