• Wash the wood cutting board well and rinse in a sink of hot water with a splash of bleach.
  • Dry the board as best you can, then let sit overnight to ensure there is no moisture left in the wood.
  • Pour melted paraffin wax over the board with enough wax to cover it completely.
  • Now iron the wax into the board using an old iron.
  • The wax will seal the cutting board and any cracks to protect it from bacteria and stains being absorbed in the wood.
  • Leave cutting board aside for another night before using.
  • Repeat this process whenever you notice bare spots in the wood.

Once you’ve completely waxed the cutting board, rub the heated iron on an old towel to remove the wax.
