The care and maintenance of your cutting board depend on its material. For wooden boards, regular oiling with food-safe mineral oil and avoiding soaking in water can prolong its life. Plastic boards can often be cleaned in the dishwasher, while bamboo requires gentle hand washing. Glass boards are easy to sanitize but need caution to prevent chipping. Regular inspection for cracks and damage, followed by appropriate maintenance like sanding or oiling, will ensure your cutting board remains functional and safe for years.
