John Boos Block Cutting Board Care and Maintenance Set: Includes One 16 Ounce Bottle Mystery Oil, One 5 Ounce bottle Board Cream and One Round Applicator

Once a month, I oil and wax my John Boos Block, since its a really large cutting board, quite expensive, and its important to protect it and take care of it. The essential mystery oil goes on easily, penetrated the wood and wipes off nicely. Whatever oil theyre peddling seems to get the job done. The board cream (wax) was tough to work with. Its hard to squeeze out of the tube (and good luck getting it all out!), and goes on thick, with a lot of wasted product when you wipe it off and inevitably go through about a dozen paper towels before the surface isnt still noticeably waxy. I switched to Clarks cutting board wax with round applicator and I have a MUCH easier time applying a thin even coat with almost no wasted product. I highly recommend Clarks over John Boos for the board cream, but the John Boos cutting board oil is perfectly fine and inexpensive and should last quite some time.

I like the product but i’m upset that it came and was burst open. Both the oil and the cream had exploded during shipping. Its very moisturizing and a good protectant but I cant use exploded containers.

I use this on my cutting boards and wooden spoons and spatulas monthly if heavily used and periodically if not and it keeps them looking like new and I feel confident that even though I clean them after use, they are being protected against germs and other nasties by being properly sealed and conditioned.

Easy to read directions and the product definitely moisturized my knife block.

In my the color is not quite what the picture shows. The company responded to someone else’s question saying that indeed the color was off but shouldn’t effect the product, so I took the chance and used it. It’s does work nicely and I’m not upset. I’ll use up the product for sure. My cutting boards and wood tools seem to absorb it well and they look nice.

Boos oil and cream works well. After slightly sanding with fine grit sandpaper wipe the dust away with a dry cloth. A wet cloth causes the tiny wood fibers to stick up. Instructions say to rub in the oil and leave over night then do the same with the cream. Then repeat this process monthly. Who remembers to do this monthly? I do mine every few months and the wood is still great after two years

Keep your cutting boards cleaned and hydrated

Great product and even makes our other wood cutting boards look like new.

The only reason for the four stars is the price: this is overpriced as a package. The oil and cream work amazing and they are amazing products. The applicator is twice as expensive as other good brands. The reason I bought it is because it comes with a cap for the sponge. I wanted something to set it in that would be mess free. The cap isn’t worth $10, but I didn’t see anything else that came with one. As far as effectiveness, I actually like the applicator a lot. Rags are a pain to clean after and so I usually used my hands to rub the oil and cream into the board. I find that the applicator works well and that I actually can use less product for the same results. Again, probably not worth it as a package, but certainly convenient.

I bought this cream for my new cutting board. It is not cream at all, it is hard as a rock and I am unable to get it out. The oil that came with the board with thicker than this oil. I am wondering if this is from boos? I need to be able to get this out of the tube. It was not left out in the cold and it has been in a warm area of house to see if that is the issue, it is not
