Cutting Block Hygiene
So my Pops made me a kick-arse, custom cutting block for Christmas. It looks like a giant folding TV tray, with a 18" x 22" solid maple cutting block on top and a magnetic knife strip mounted on the side. My question is what is the proper cleaning/sanitizing procedures for maple? Any input is greatly appreciated.

I would love to see a picture of that. I have made quite few butcher block tables and counters. Regular cleaning can be done with just soap and water and sanitize it with some bleach and water. Do not use a urethane or sealer. Mineral oil is best when using it as a cutting and chopping surface.

Thanks for the link, Sled. Good info. I think I'll sand it and reseason with mineral oil. I'll try to get up a pic in the next few days.
