Oil Regularly: Apply food‑grade mineral oil or conditioning oil frequently (weekly with heavy use) to keep the maple from drying or cracking.

Avoid Heat & Moisture: Do not expose the wood to prolonged heat, standing water, or extreme humidity.

-
Natural Sanitation: Occasionally use coarse salt and lemon to lift stains and odors without harming the wood.
