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

Keep your cutting boards cleaned and hydrated

I say second stage because this is used after the first stage is applied with BOOS Mystery Oil on all surfaces top, bottom, and sides of my two large BOOS Cutting Blocks. A thin coat of oil is allowed to stay on the block for at least 8 hours and better if 24 hours, then wiped off with paper towel. The BOOS Block Cream is rubbed in on all surfaces and also allowed the same time to penetrate and wipe off. This leaves a water resistant beeswax coating on the wood. Both of my blocks are end grain and the oil/cream penetrates them well and are much kinder on the sharpness of my expensive knives. I service these blocks at least once a month and they stay in like new condition. Highly recommend these BOOS products.

I have had a large Boos Butcher Block and three table top blocks for 47 years! I always use the Mystery oil and Board Cream to keep them looking like new, water resistant, and simply beautiful. In addition, Boos Customer Service is also Fantastic!

I bought the Boos board for my daughter, who has been using an old warped board of a lesser quality. Maintaining your board your board is Easy - but you have to commit from the very beginning. What better way to treat a new board than to use what the maker uses? They know that board & its needs. We’ll treat it together initially so she knows what she needs to do. I hope one day, her granddaughter can inherit that board as a well treated heirloom.

Really great products. They brought my butcher block and cutting board back to life after many, many years of never having been treated in an arid environment. Highly recommend. The only catch is that you have to leave the oil to sit overnight and then leave the wax to sit overnight for another night so, its kind of a commitment to do this once a month. Worth it, but good to know.

Ive used these products in the past. They are easy to use and work great.

Good penetration and I used it on my other wood cutting boards. Brought them back to life. Used it on our wooden high chair and it really looks good now.

Keeps my cutting boards looking great. I apply monthly since my boards are used daily. Depending on how much use and how the board looks, I may use one product or the other and sometimes both products. I feel like using hot water for cleaning the boards tends to remove the product over time. It does require a bit of time to let the product soak in.

I purchased the oil and the cream. I choose this brand because I liked the name of it. Products arrived quick and in perfect condition. After cleaning my cutting boards and letting them try, I started with one layer of oil on each side and on the edges. I let it sit for a couple of hours and put on another coat. I ended up doing four coats of oil. They were in BAD condition and thirsty!! The last layer of oil I let sit overnight. In the morning I wiped the boards with a clean cloth to just pick up any extra oil. Then I applied a coat of the cream, again to each side and the edges and let that sit for 24 hours. In the morning I took a try cloth and wiped off the excess. I had a lot of time to kill so I didn’t mind waiting, but realistically you can easily do this is a day or two if you wanted. These boards were bleach white, faded, and looked to be in their last leg. After Boos, they look bright, shiny and feel smooth. There is no oily feel left on it. The cream goes A LONG way, so I am sure that will last me forever. I did use quite a generous amount of the oil for the four coats on the two cutting boards (one large board and one small) and still have almost a full bottle.

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.
