Prevent stains by cleaning up spills immediately. To remove them, pour salt over the stain and rub with a slice of lemon. Alternatively, cover the stain with baking soda and scrub. Bleach can be diluted with water and applied to the stain, but may discolour the wood. As a last resort, stains can be sanded out.

Prepare the surface by cleaning the countertop and removing any stains then apply the oil evenly and let it soak into the wood. Apply a second coat, let it soak, then wipe excess away.

For long-term care, regularly oil the surface with a food-safe oil, like mineral or walnut oil. Combine with beeswax to fill fissures from wear and tear. Beeswax also helps prevent your Butcher Block from drying out or cracking.

Butcher Block is made from wood and burns under heat. If burnt, it can be sanded out.

If Butcher Block is scratched, it can discolour, so protect it from knives and sharp edges.

Coffee, tea, juices and even water can stain Butcher Block if spills aren’t cleaned up immediately.

Oil or condition Butcher Block regularly to protect the surface and extend its life.

We are proud to back our product and our service, which is why we provide a two-year installation warranty on our Butcher Block countertops.
