How does this conditioner improve the look of my cutting boards?

Regular application replenishes lost oils and restores the wood’s natural luster. The wax component leaves a subtle sheen while the oil soaks in to even out color and reduce the appearance of small scratches and dryness.

• Contains a mineral oil and wax blend that nourishes wood
• Penetrates surface fibers to enhance grain visibility
• Leaves a low-gloss finish that looks natural, not plasticky

Is this product safe to use on food-contact surfaces?

Howard Butcher Block Conditioner is formulated for wood surfaces that come into contact with food when used as directed. Apply, allow absorption, and wipe excess to maintain a clean prep area without leaving a sticky residue.

• Designed specifically for butcher blocks and cutting boards
• Non-toxic oil and wax components suitable for food surfaces
• Wipe-off application removes extra surface product before use

How often should I apply the conditioner to keep my wood in good shape?

Frequency depends on use and climate: high-use boards benefit from monthly treatments, while occasional-use items may need conditioning every few months. More frequent applications are helpful in dry seasons or after heavy cleaning that strips natural oils.

• Monthly for busy kitchens or commercial use
• Every 2–3 months for typical home use
• After deep cleaning or sanding to restore moisture

What surfaces besides butcher blocks can I treat with this conditioner?

This product is suitable for most unfinished or lightly finished wooden kitchen items. It works well on cutting boards, wooden countertops, rolling pins, salad bowls and turned-wood utensils where a food-safe oil/wax treatment is appropriate.

• Cutting boards and staggered-edge butcher blocks
• Wooden countertops, salad bowls, and utensils
• Not recommended for painted surfaces or heavily varnished finishes
