Introduction

Caring for a resin and wood charcuterie board involves specific techniques to maintain its beauty, durability, and functionality. This guide provides structured instructions, emphasizing each stage of care with numerical precision where applicable.

Understanding Your Resin and Wood Charcuterie Board

The unique combination of resin and wood requires balanced care to ensure longevity and aesthetic appeal.

• Resin: Understand that resin has a glossy finish that can scratch and stain.
• Wood: Different woods react differently to moisture and temperature changes.

General Cleaning Procedures

Routine cleaning involves removing residues without harming the board.

1. Use a damp, non-abrasive cloth to wipe down the surface immediately after use.
2. Avoid soaking the board as this can warp wood and stain resin.
3. Use a mild dish soap solution (0.5 teaspoon per 1 liter of water) for tougher residues.

Deep Cleaning Techniques

Periodically perform deep cleaning to remove ingrained residues.

• Use a baking soda and water paste for spot stains: mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 tablespoon of water.
• Gently scrub with a soft-bristled brush specifically on wood sections.

Maintenance Strategies

Employ strategic maintenance to enhance durability.

• Apply a food-safe mineral oil every 4-6 weeks to both the wood and resin parts to prevent drying and cracking.
• Test small areas before full application to ensure compatibility.
