Use: A few drops of mild detergent, like
dishwashing liquid, and warm water. (It coated with urethane or
polyurethane, follow care instructions for Hardwood Cabinets).
Tools: A cloth or sponge.
Tips: After cleaning, rinse with plain
water and pat dry. Water left on the surface will stain. Replace
boards that have cracks, as bacteria can grow there. Sanitize with
a slice of lemon, not bleach, which is unsafe around food.
Tough Stains: Unlike most surfaces, butcher blocks can be professionally
sanded.
