Here’s how you can use coconut oil as a chopping board conditioner:

1. Clean the Board: Before applying coconut oil, make sure the chopping board is clean and free of any debris. You can wash it with mild soap and water, then allow it to dry completely.
2. Apply Coconut Oil: Using a clean, soft cloth, apply a thin layer of coconut oil to the chopping board. Make sure to cover the entire surface, including the edges.
3. Allow Absorption: Let the coconut oil penetrate the wood by leaving it on for a few hours or overnight. This allows the oil to moisturize and condition the wood.
4. Wipe Excess: After the oil has had time to absorb, wipe off any excess with a clean cloth. This step helps prevent the board from feeling greasy.
5. Repeat as Needed: Depending on use, you may need to reapply coconut oil periodically to keep the chopping board in good condition. It’s a good idea to repeat the process every few weeks or as needed.

Keep in mind that coconut oil solidifies at lower temperatures, so if the oil solidifies on the board, you can warm it slightly to make it liquid again before applying.
