Stainless Steel Board Care

Stainless steel cutting boards are virtually maintenance-free compared to wood, but proper care keeps them looking sharp and preserves your knife edges.

Daily Cleaning

  • Hand Wash: Wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or microfiber cloth immediately after prep.
  • Dishwasher Safe: Unlike timber, stainless steel handles high-heat commercial and domestic dishwasher cycles without warping, cracking, or degrading.
  • Dry Immediately: Wipe dry with a clean cloth to prevent mineral spots or water marks from hard tap water.

Removing Stains, Odors & Water Spots

  • Baking Soda Paste: Mix equal parts baking soda and water to scrub away stubborn food residue without scratching the metal.
  • Vinegar Spray: Mist with white distilled vinegar to eliminate lingering water spots, fingerprints, and natural odors.
  • Grain Direction: Always rub or scrub in the direction of the metal’s brushed finish to maintain a uniform look.

What to Avoid

  • Steel Wool & Wire Brushes: Avoid abrasive metal scouring pads, which will gouge and scratch the smooth surface.
  • Prolonged Salt Contact: Do not leave heavy salt or highly acidic juices sitting on the board for extended periods, as prolonged exposure can cause micro-pitting over time.
