Video: How to Clean and Care for Bamboo Cutting Boards

We are attracted to bamboo in the kitchen for many reasons - sustainable wood, beautiful finish, natural anti-bacterial properties. But we are hesitant to use much of it because we haven't been sure how to clean it. Enter Tru Bamboo - one of our favorite product booths at the Housewares Show last week. We asked Tru Bamboo about maintenance for bamboo kitchen products like cutting boards, salad forks, and spoons, and found out that some bamboo is dishwasher safe! Watch this video - so helpful. More Tru Bamboo info below...
 
 

We were impressed by Tru Bamboo's products - we love their clean, smooth look and finish, as well as their very reasonable prices.

Tru Bamboo 7000 TruBamboo Cutting Board Oil, 8 oz., $15.50
Trubamboo Bermuda Large Cutting Board, $18.20
Tru Bamboo 1320 Small Cutting Board, $4.99

Also, if you are in an area served by Publix grocery stores, you can find Tru Bamboo products right there in Publix; most of the Florida locations carry their products.

I need a new cutting board. Apparently Whole Foods carries them, so I'll go take a look this weekend.

You should check out a Marshalls, Ross, or TJ Max, etc.. They usually have great deals on brands you would see at department stores.

Those look nice! I keep forgetting to do the mineral oil on my wooden cutting board, and it has gigantic cracks now... eww. I have a bamboo spoon that's my favorite, so I guess I'd better keep up with the oiling.

I've been told that bamboo is so hard that it dulls knives more quickly than other cutting boards. Is that true?
