Well done for buying your new wooden chopping board for your kitchen from OGGN Home! Before using the board for the first time, you must season the wooden board so that you can enjoy maximum use of your wooden board and its longevity will be highly enhanced. Now let us see the steps on how to season a wooden cutting board properly.

Step 1: Soap Rub Down
First, it is recommended that you clean this wooden cutting board with warm water and soap. Clean it well as the amount of water and mechanical action in scrubbing removes bacteria and food particles from the soap. However, normal water can also be used though warm water is recommended. For washing, it is advised that natural dish soap be used since cuttings and boards made from wood can be easily damaged by chemicals.
