How To Handle Your MELLO?

“Our go-to tips to keep your design cutting board clean and shining.”

Heat & Usage Cautions

Avoid direct heat sources— never place hot pans, pots or appliances directly on your Mello board. High heat can deform or warp the surface. Even though the board is durable, it’s still a high-performance material that needs care.

Are Mello boards food-safe?

Yes. All materials are FDA-approved, food-grade and safe for daily meal prep.

Will my board get knife marks?

Yes, this is completely normal. MELLO boards are knife-friendly, meaning the surface protects your knives. Light scratches or marks may occur over time with regular use.

Can I place hot pans on my MELLO?

No. Avoid placing hot pans, pots or appliances directly onto the board as high heat may cause melting or warping.

Is my MELLO dishwasher proof?

Yes. Our boards are dishwasher-safe up to 80°C. For best longevity, we recommend placing them in the top rack or hand washing.

How to deep clean my MELLO?

Once a month:

  1. Sprinkle 1 tbsp baking soda + 1 tbsp salt.
  2. Scrub with half a lemon.
  3. Let it sit for 3 minutes.
  4. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

This keeps your board fresh, clean and odorless.
