FAQs

Is this board safe for cutting raw meat?

Yes, marble is naturally hygienic and non-porous, making it suitable for cutting raw meat. However, always clean and sanitize the board thoroughly after use.

Can I put this board in the dishwasher?

No, it is essential to hand wash this marble board. Dishwashers can damage the marble through harsh detergents and high heat.

How do I remove water spots?

Water spots can usually be buffed out with a soft, dry cloth. If they persist, try a mild marble cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water.

Will the red and white colors fade?

The natural colors of the marble are permanent. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals could potentially affect the finish over time.

What does 'organic charm' mean in the description?

'Organic charm' refers to the natural beauty of the marble, including its unique veining and earthy feel, which adds an aesthetically pleasing, natural element to your kitchen or dining setup.

Is the board heavy?

As a marble product, it has a natural weight. The dimensions (H2 x D21 x W31 cm) suggest it's a manageable size, but it will be heavier than a comparable plastic or wooden board.

Can I use this board for hot items?

While marble can withstand some heat, it is not recommended to place very hot items directly on the board as it could potentially cause thermal shock or leave marks.

Troubleshooting

Board appears dull or loses shine

Clean the board thoroughly and apply a food-safe marble polish or sealer according to product instructions.

Food stains on the marble surface

For fresh stains, wipe immediately. For set-in stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the stain, let sit for 5-10 minutes, then gently wipe clean with a damp cloth. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Visible scratches on the surface

Minor scratches may be less noticeable over time. For significant scratches, consider professional marble restoration or accept the patina that develops with use. Using the board for serving rather than heavy chopping can minimize scratching.

Board feels rough or porous

This can indicate the need for resealing. Clean and dry the board completely, then apply a food-safe marble sealer, following the manufacturer's instructions.
