As you know, the price of wooden cutting boards has always been decent.

Therefore, all housewives who are lucky enough to become the owners of such products can only be envied.

And give a couple of tips on how to care for kitchen utensils, of course.

To extend the life of the board, it needs to be impregnated. For this you will need Vaseline oil and food grade beeswax.

The first layer that should be applied to the board (important: it must be dry) consists of Vaseline oil.

The board should be left in this form for 2 minutes, after which a second layer should be applied, mixing oil with wax in a ratio of 3 to 1.

Remove any excess and set the board aside for 24 hours. After 24 hours, it can be used for its intended purpose.

And finally, we will reveal the main mistake that many people make out of a desire to save money: do not use vegetable oil to treat the board - it can go rancid, which will cause the product to smell unpleasant.
