Care of Wood TopsThomas Creek Wood Tops are coated with food safe mineral oil, Waterlox, or a polyurethane finish. The food safe mineral oil finish should be recoated once a month with mineral oil to maintain the bright appearance and to avoid cracks in the wood due to drying conditions. The Waterlox finish is both food safe and water resistant and requires no further application. The polyurethane finish is durable, water resistant, and requires only minimal maintenance. Simple cleaning can be accomplished with a damp cleaning cloth wetted with a mix of white vinegar and water. Do not use bleach, ammonia, or abrasive cleansers and avoid exposure to hot surfaces by using a hot pad or trivet. Thomas Creek Wood Tops is not responsible for improper maintenance or use.
