#### Caring for Your Chopping Block
To ensure your Kong Boards chopping block lasts a lifetime, proper care is essential. Here are some tips to keep your block in pristine condition:
1. **Clean Gently**: After each use, wash your block with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. Avoid soaking or using harsh detergents.
2. **Oil Regularly**: Apply food-grade mineral oil to your block every few weeks to keep the wood hydrated and prevent cracking.
3. **Avoid Extreme Temperatures**: Keep your block away from direct sunlight and do not use it as a trivet for hot pots or pans.
4. **Store Properly**: Store your block in a cool, dry place, preferably upright to allow air circulation.
