Maintenance & Care
Keep Your KitchenSavvi in Perfect Condition
The Wooden Base
Handcrafted & Built to Last
Natural Movement
Each of our wooden bases is handcrafted, so slight movement is normal. The grooves are designed to create high friction between the base and the cutting board when you press down, ensuring a safe and stable cutting experience.
Keeping it Clean
Wood is naturally porous and can easily be damaged by liquids. Our product is designed to keep the wooden base clean and dry while preparing food. If it gets dirty, simply wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge.
Oiling & Maintenance
To prolong the high quality of the wooden base, apply food-grade mineral oil, coconut oil, or beeswax regularly. This helps protect the wood from moisture and keeps it looking beautiful.
The Worktop
Easy Care for Long-Lasting Use
Heat Protection
While the Worktops are dishwasher-safe, they aren't indestructible! To prevent warping, avoid placing hot objects directly on them and maintain a safe distance from the stove. Never place them on a hot surface.
Dishwasher Tips
Make sure to place them vertically on one side of the dishwasher to avoid warping. It is not recommended to place them horizontally at the back or diagonally across the dishwasher. This helps maintain their shape and quality.
Regular Replacement
Knife marks on cutting boards are unavoidable, but bacteria growth doesn't have to be! Regularly replace your cutting boards - just like you do with your toothbrush - using our hassle-free recycling program. This ensures your family's food safety and hygiene.

Care Questions?
The wooden base is specifically designed for our KitchenSavvi worktops. For optimal stability and performance, we recommend using it with our polypropylene worktops that are engineered to fit perfectly.
Yes, absolutely! Our wooden base is made from food-safe materials and finished with non-toxic treatments. It's suitable for all food types and safe to use directly with food when needed.
With proper care and regular oiling, the wooden base can last for many years. The base is the long-term investment, while the worktops are designed to be replaced regularly for hygiene reasons.
Use food-grade mineral oil, coconut oil, or beeswax. These are all safe for food contact surfaces and help protect the wood from moisture. Apply every month or as needed to maintain the wood's quality.
Damaged worktops can be replaced through our recycling program. If you experience defects, contact us immediately. For minor damage like knife marks, this is normal wear - a good reminder to replace them regularly for food safety.
