How-To | Clean Your Cheese Board

Your cheese board was a hit and now you’re left with a crumbly mess. When the time for cleanup comes, resist the urge to immediately load your board in the dishwasher and call it a day. Follow these simple steps to properly clean and preserve your board, so it lasts for many gatherings to come.

Gather These Tools: 

Kitchen Soap Bar, Scented Vinegar, Dish Detergent (for marble and slate boards), Lint-Free Cleaning Cloths, dull knife

STEP 1:

Scrape away leftovers into a trash bin using a dull knife.

STEP 2:

Do not put wooden boards in the dishwasher – they’ll warp and crack. Instead, handwash your board with the Kitchen Soap Bar and warm water.

STEP 3:

Firmly work the wet bar along the surface to remove stains and odors. Then, thoroughly rinse away suds.

STEP 4:

To help deodorize, pour 1 capful of Scented Vinegar* onto the board. Wipe dry with the Lint-Free Cleaning Cloth.

*Note: Do not use Scented Vinegar on marble and slate boards.

Marble & Slate Boards

Boards made of porous stone, such as marble or slate, require a gentler touch. Handwash in the sink with Dish Detergent and warm water. Then, wipe dry with a Lint-Free Cleaning Cloth.
