Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Apollo Teak Endgrain Cutting Board stays in peak condition, follow these guidelines:
Initial Setup: Before the first use, wash the board with warm water and mild soap, then allow it to dry completely. We recommend applying a coat of food-grade mineral oil or beeswax before the first session.
Cleaning: Never submerge the board in water or place it in the dishwasher. Clean by wiping with a damp cloth or hand-washing with mild soap. Dry immediately with a towel and let it air-dry standing upright.
Maintenance: To prevent drying or splitting, re-apply food-safe mineral oil once a month, or whenever the wood appears dry or pale. This preserves the natural richness of the teak and keeps the wood sealed against moisture and odors.
