CARE & MAINTENANCE
JARRAH
Side Grain Butcher Block
Some clients use their butcher blocks as a large cutting board, others who treat them like fine furniture. In either case, simply wipe clean with a moist sponge after use. Avoid harsh detergents and puddles of standing water. That's it!
Maintenance for your countertop depends largely on how you use it and what finish was specified.
NATURAL OIL finished tops are food grade, you can cut right on them like a cutting board. Because wood is a natural, living material, it continually absorbs more oil, so regular re-oiling will be necessary to maintain its luster, just like you should be doing with all of your wooden ware in the kitchen. Re-oiling is simple, just spread oil evenly over the surface, allow it to soak in for about 5 minutes then wipe the excess off with a clean rag. It's that easy!
MARINE GRADE OIL finish is a film that builds up on the surface of the butcher block, sealing the wood and preventing moisture absorption. For this reason, this finish is great around sinks but is not designed for cutting on (you don't want to cut through the protective finish). Marine Grade Oil finished butcher block won't need regular re-oiling.
