How to use

Start with clean, completely dry wood. Oil both faces and all edges, then leave it to absorb overnight.

  1. A small amount of MAISON RODIN Care Oil is poured onto a clean, dry wooden board

    Step 1

    Pour a little oil

    Pour a small amount of oil onto a clean, fully dry board.

  2. A clean cloth spreads a thin coat of oil across a wooden board

    Step 2

    Spread a thin coat

    Spread a thin, even coat with a clean cloth. Avoid leaving a pool of oil.

  3. A securely supported wooden board receives a thin coat of oil on its underside

    Step 3

    Treat the underside

    Support the board securely, then spread a thin coat over the underside with a clean cloth.

  4. A clean cloth spreads a thin coat of oil along the edge of a wooden board

    Step 4

    Cover every edge

    Wipe oil along every edge, including any handles and grooves.

  5. An oiled wooden board rests overnight on a kitchen worktop

    Step 5

    Leave it overnight

    Give the oil overnight to soak in before wiping off the excess.

  6. A clean cloth wipes excess oil from a wooden board

    Step 6

    Wipe away excess

    With another clean cloth, wipe off any oil left on the surface before using the board for food.

Oil, cream, or both?

Use oil when the wood looks dry. Add cream if you want a beeswax finish.

Care for the wood with oil

Oil a new butcher block before first use. Reapply when the clean, completely dry wood looks dry or dull.

Finish with cream

Add a thin wax finish to clean, completely dry wood. Cream does not replace the first oiling of a new butcher block.

View Care Cream

Using both

Oil first, leave it overnight and wipe off the excess. Then add cream if you want a wax finish.

Care questions

Can oil or cream clean my board?

No. Oil and cream are wood-care products. They do not replace cleaning or sanitizing, and they do not make wood waterproof. Apply them only to clean, completely dry wood.

Should I wash the board first?

Only if it needs cleaning. Wash it by hand, then let it dry completely before applying oil or cream. A board that is already clean and dry does not need washing just for this treatment.

When should I apply it again?

Look at the board when it is clean and completely dry. Apply oil when the surface looks dry or dull, then cream if you want a wax finish.

When can I use the board again?

Let the oil or cream absorb and wipe off the excess with a clean cloth. Before food touches the board, it should feel dry and leave no sticky residue.
