Care and Maintenance Guide
Suberra high density cork is primarily a wood product. The resin component makes up less than 3% of the composite. Because of this, the material should be thought of as solid wood when it comes to finishing and caring for the surface
Maintenance on the surface of Suberra will depend on what was used to seal and/or finish the material, or if the material is left unfi nished.
Clean fi nished Suberra , on which food is not usually prepared, with water and gentle soap. Wipe dry with a soft towel. Finished Suberra surfaces do not need oil treatments
Waterlox™ and Polyurethane Finishes:
Wash the surface with mild soap and water. Regular liquid dish washing detergent works well. Use a clean sponge or dish towel. Dry the surface well with a soft cloth
Maintain unfi nished Suberra surfaces with non-toxic oil treatments on a weekly basis or whenever you notice the wood drying or color fading. Coat the block with oil, let sit for five minutes then wipe away the remainder with a paper towel or cotton cloth
It is not necessary to treat Suberra with oil. Without treatment the grain will raise with water. The surface can be lightly sanded to bring back a smooth at surface.
To remove tough stains from untreated Suberra pour lemon juice on the surface and let it soak for several seconds. Wipe clean with water and soft clean cloth
Because Suberra is a solid product it can be sanded back and refi nished as needed
