I have some wooden kitchen utensils like chopping board, spatula etc. However, due to being cleaned in the dishwasher, they have lost all their sheen. I was wanting to find out what can be used to polish these items? I saw some items on Bunnings' website, however they seem expensive.
Is there an alternate to these expensive products?
fractionated coconut oil works too
I have some coconut oil in the pantry. Not sure if it is fractionated
If it’s the type that is solid at room temp then no. Fractionated oil stays in liquid form.
This is the stuff you want.
Thanks. Will try the one that you have linked. The one I have is solid currently.
You could try bees wax or Gilly's citrus chopping board oil. The oil goes a long way and lasts quite some time.
Be careful as some oils go rancid
Yes as long as its 100% bees wax
The oil would penetrate further though
What i do is oil it then wax it, its probably overkill but they still look brand new just with cut marks and water beads off like car polish does to cars
If you've been putting the board in the dishwasher, I'd suggest sanding it down before oiling. And stop abusing it :)
And stop abusing it :)

Google hardwax oil - easy to apply, food safe and hard wearing.
Orange oil
Grange oil
Wood is naturally antibacterial. I just scrub mine with soap, give it a rinse, then let it air dry. Dishwasher probably unnecessary, all that heat and water.
Google: how to season wooden spoons.
I think the standard is food safe mineral oil but fractionated coconut oil works too and can be picked up at the supermarket.
