To maintain your charcuterie board after engraving, follow these care instructions to ensure its longevity and appearance:

• Clean with Mild Soap: After each use, clean the board with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Avoid soaking it in water or putting it in the dishwasher, as excessive moisture can cause warping.
• Dry Immediately: Use a clean, dry cloth to wipe down the board immediately after washing to prevent moisture from settling into the wood.
• Condition Regularly: Apply a food-safe mineral oil or board conditioner every 1-2 months to keep the wood hydrated and to preserve its finish. This will help prevent cracking and maintain the luster of the engraving.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use bleach or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage both the wood and the engraving.
• Store Properly: Store your charcuterie board in a cool, dry place, standing up vertically or laying flat to avoid any stresses that may cause warping.

By following these simple care instructions, your engraved charcuterie board will remain beautiful and functional for years to come.
