Beautifully restored my cutting boards

Look at my pictures posted with my review. They speak to the quality of this product better than my review could. The oil, combined with the cream, has brought back the life of my cutting boards and restored them to their original finish and luster. My boards are also nicely sealed, moisturized, and have extended lives thanks to this. I was also able to use the product on all of my wooden utensils and wood handles on my knives. I had a knife that was years.YEARS old, and the handle had changed…

Pros
  • The kit is ideal for those who cook and prepare food frequently and want to ensure that their cutting board remains in excellent condition
Cons
  • The kit can be a choking hazard for small children

A must have in my review

To tell the truth this kit is invaluable to protect your wood blocks from moisture and water damage. Adding this oil really brings back the lift in your wood products.

Pros
  • The cream helps to restore the board and remove any scratches or marks
Cons
  • The cream in the kit can leave a residue on the cutting board

Great product for live edge pieces

We use this on all of our live edge pieces and charcuterie boards. It’s great, easy to use and holds up. The liquid in the bottle seems to separate after sitting in the garage for a while so be sure to shake well before use

Pros
  • Turned my "grey" cutting board brown again. Easy to appy
Cons
  • The instructions are vague

I've got two Boos cutting boards; one huge one that's 3" thick and a new one that's 1" thick. The huge one developed cracks between the laminations so when I bought the new one, I bought this stuff, too. Although I've used Boos Mystery Oil on the old one, it didn't seem to help--it's basically mineral oil with antimicrobials added to it. I'm hoping the Board Cream (mineral oil and beeswax) will "fill in" the gap in the large board and keep it from splitting further. Overall, the price is too…

Pros
  • The kit not only maintains but also improves the overall functionality of the cutting board
Cons
  • The kit is not vegan-friendly

Seems to be working great.

Using both products, butcher block looks great. I've always just used an oil on my Boos Butcher block. Happy they arrived in a plastic zip lock bag. Mystery Oil leaked a little. Rat's, I didn't think of taking a before picture. In reading other reviews of "counterfeit", this label was not applied to the mystery oil bottle, it was definitely printed onto the bottle. Would buy again when I'm low.

Pros
  • It's a gift.
Cons
  • The kit is impractical for everyday use

my cutting board looks new

I purchased this to get life back into my wood board which had become so dry it lost its shine. I had wooden spoons that were very dry and wood grain no longer visible. I used this as directed and everything looks brand new. I've even washed it a couple times post treatment and it is keeping it's shine.

Pros
  • The kit is made in the USA, ensuring high quality and ethical manufacturing
Cons
  • The applicator is not durable

Wish I knew about this sooner!

If you buy good things and want them to last (cast iron, leather boots, handmade cutting boards) you have to take care of them and keep them moisturized. Moisturizing and oiling your cutting board will make it look nicer, clean easier, and last longer. You have nice things…take care of them.

Pros
  • The round applicator allows for easy and even application of the oil and cream
Cons
  • The package design is not appealing

boos is best: my feedback

great set for keeping my wood knife handles and cutting boards in great shape. a little pricey but boos is a name you can trust

Pros
  • This product is wonderful for helping preserve and protect the surface of my board
Cons
  • The kit is not environmentally-friendly

I say second stage because this is used after the first stage is applied with BOOS Mystery Oil on all surfaces top, bottom, and sides of my two large BOOS Cutting Blocks. A thin coat of oil is allowed to stay on the block for at least 8 hours and better if 24 hours, then wiped off with paper towel. The BOOS Block Cream is rubbed in on all surfaces and also allowed the same time to penetrate and wipe off. This leaves a water resistant beeswax coating on the wood. Both of my blocks are end grain…

Pros
  • The kit is ideal for those who want to keep their cutting board looking and functioning like new
Cons
  • The products in the kit can be too harsh for some cutting boards

I love how it makes my round bird looks and keeps it clean, I’ve had your round cutting board 3 years now, Thank u Thanks for attention.

Pros

Cons

Best wood protection ever!

This product is easy to use - apply a thorough coat, allow to soak in overnight, then buff with a clean cloth. It does a fantastic job of refurbishing and protecting wooden items. I used it on a dough bowl, several cutting boards and serving boards. It works like magic!

Pros
  • The products in this care and maintenance kit are all-natural and environmentally friendly
Cons
  • The kit is not a necessary investment

I highly recommend for BOOS cutting boards

I highly recommend for booz cutting boards. You spend so much for a nice cutting board its easy to maintain with the mystery oil and the wax is great for sealing once a month. I oil the board at least once a week.

Pros
  • The kit is an excellent investment for anyone who values their cutting boards and wants them to last for many years
Cons
  • The cream in the kit can be hard to remove from the applicator

Poor packaging best in my review

The product arrived no problem but when using the board cream the bottom of the tube opened making it a messy application process! Really don’t want to go through the process of returning and reordering so guess I am stuck with defective packaging 😒 To John Boos please improve your packaging and quality control 🤔

Pros
  • Excellent product and really works! And I’m in love with the application brush!
Cons
  • The cream is messy and difficult to apply

If you have a Boos you need this!

Brings your board back to life! But don’t wait until it’s dull before using. Once a month is about right. Follow the instructions and your board will stay healthy. No weird smell, wipes right off. I let it sit overnight. Looks like new after each use. With how much these boards cost, this oil and conditioner are worth it!

Pros
  • Easy to read directions and the product definitely moisturized my knife block.
Cons
  • The applicator is unnecessary
