What You’ll Need:

Wood polish and conditioner (for furniture), such as Howard Feed-N-Wax Food-grade cutting board oil (for food surfaces), such as Howard Cutting Board Oil or Boos Block Mystery Oil Clean cloth

Follow These Steps:

For Cutting Boards: 11. First, make sure your cutting board is clean and thoroughly dry. 2. Apply oil to the surface of the board, and use a clean cloth to distribute the oil evenly. Then, let the oil soak in for a few hours or up to overnight. 3. Using another clean cloth, wipe off any excess oil. Your cutting board should look shiny and revived, without being damp to the touch. For Wooden Furniture: Note: Follow these steps for oil-and-wax or stain-and-wax finishes, not painted or lacquered pieces.

  1. Wipe the furniture with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Follow with a dry cloth to remove any moisture.
  2. Apply wood polish to a clean cloth, then wipe it onto the furniture, working in the direction of the grain.
  3. Let the oil soak in for about 30 minutes before buffing in and wiping away any excess oil.
