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

I have a 10 kitchen island, it wouldnt let the picture post & I used the oil & wax, I purchased a cherry unfinished. I did not spend a fortune on it, but it came out gorgeous! I just ordered more oil & wax to keep it up. It really holds up beautifully & i even usd it on a family heirloom rocker that is over 100 years old & it looks beautiful too. It does everything it says it does.

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

good price and good product

I used the oil to clean the board when it arrived. Lots of dust and unidentifiable debris came up on the cleaning cloth, so I scrubbed generously until the board came clean. I applied the oil according to directions from Boos, left it overnight to soak in and now the board is clean and hopefully well protected. Maple is very hard wood and the board should now be watertight and easy to clean between uses. Directions are to use the oil once a month.

There are many such treatments to protect woods from splitting, cracking and drying out. Everything from food-grade mineral oil and bees wax to branded treatments. John Boos makes a very good cutting board treatment and kit.

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.

In general it is a product which is worth your money, gives a delicate beautiful color for your board. Just be aware, it took a half bottle to soak 3 Zwilling bamboo boards: big, middle, small.

great set for keeping my wood knife handles and cutting boards in great shape. a little pricey but boos is a name you can trust

A sample if the Mystery Oil came with my cutting board, so I knew what I was getting there. The wax product was good, I even used it on a butcher block kitchen cart I have. The issue is the packaging. The tube split open at the seal on the end when I squeezed it out the first time. I just adapted and squeeze it the big hole in the wrong end. Like I said, the product us great. The packaging needs improvement.

Keep your cutting boards cleaned and hydrated
