Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not let water sit on joints
- Oil wooden tops regularly
- Take care with heavy pans near edges
- Always use a trivet for hot pans
Always use a trivet and chopping board, wipe spills right away, and keep wooden tops oiled.
A burn or chip can get worse with daily use particularly around the sink. An earlier repair is a smaller repair.
