To clean the board, it is recommended to do this by hand and not to use hot water. Do not let the plank get wet for too long. Rinse the board  under the tap using a scouring pad or dishcloth and then pat it dry with a tea towel. Although dish soap is not necessary, it is recommended after contact with raw meat, poultry or fish.

Make sure you dry the plank properly, putting it away wet ensures that the wood still wants to work. Preferably place it upright after drying. It is important that the grain of the wood is vertical. This makes the chance of warping much smaller.

If wood has dried out, you need to oil it again. Grape seed oil is preferred for this. How often this is necessary depends on the use of the plank.
