Care and Use
• Prior to use, seal your island with Catskill's Original Butcher Block Oil or drug store mineral oil. Oil all wooden/veneer parts, inside and outside, including the bottom of the cart top, but especially the cart top and edges, where use and cleaning dry the wood out the most. Should you choose mineral oil, select a non-toxic, FDA approved product. You may also you vegetable oil however, this provides only nominal protection for your table.
• The butcher block top is made for cutting and chopping, and scratches can be removed by sanding with high grit sandpaper. If you wish to preserve the new look of your top, use of a cutting board is recommended.
• Always clean the work surface. Most spills are easily wiped clean with damp sponge or cloth. Never soak or let water stand on your table for long periods of time as water affects the grain and even though the glue is water-resistant, it is not waterproof.
• Be sure to clean your top well with a mild detergent, rinsing it well with a damp sponge and toweling dry before applying new oil.
• To remove dough, use a little salt on a sponge and rub with the grain or try using a plastic ice scraper.
• To remove wax and gum, make it brittle with an ice pack. When the deposit hardens, use your fingernail or ice scrapper to remove.
• Your top shouldn't stain very easily, but to remove glass rings or white spots, use extra fine sand paper or No. 00 steel wool moistened with linseed oil and sand with the grain. Rings should come out when reoiled. Burns should be sanded out if possible, again, sanding with the grain. Deep burns should be scrapped out with a sharp rounded edge blade, then feather sand and reoil. Grease spots are removed using a little bit of mineral spirits - use sparingly! After application with a small brush, soak up excess with clean cloth, sand lightly or put salt over area treated to absorb any residue. Then take a little water, mild detergent and clean area.
• WARNING - Whatever the stain, try sanding with (100+ grit, fine grit) the grain first since your top is tough and chances are the stain doesn't go very deep because of the close grain. If you must resort to cleaners, follow the directions on the container, be careful, use sparingly on the top and make sure all residue is sanded and washed clean before placing food on top!! Keep these cleaners out of the reach of children! DO NOT USE SOLVENTS, PAINT THINNERS, OR BLEACH!!
