Good evening all, I have been putting howards restore a finish on the teak in the cabin followed by lemon oil with great results. Thanks for the tips off this board.

Any way I was looking at the stained faded cutting board and it was bugging me because everything else is looking so good. The following is basic cutting board maintenance. I sanded it down until the stains were gone. I cleaned it with a very light solution of bleach water and rinsed well then dried. I put some weight on it for several hours as it continued drying to prevent warping. I applied a few coats of olive oil and rubbed it off with a terry cloth towel. It looks rich and brand new. The inside of my cabin is looking great. After a thorough cleaning it is smelling nice too. Neutral which is the goal.

If the olive oil or corn oil has a scent to it (which it sometimes does) you can also go with miniral oil.

We've had a teak salad bowl and spoon/fork for years. The manufacturer recommended peanut oil, which we used for about fifteen years. It still looks like new.

Olive oil can turn rancid, and will wear off....

THE recommended treatment for cutting boards is boiled linseed oil. It is food grade and holds up extremely well. I have a large (2'x5') cutting board in my home kitchen with fiddles and a hole to the trash can.....we do EVERYTHING on it. The finish has lasted for four years now.....
