To my mind, the most important thing with porous boards such as wooden
ones, is to limit the amount of grot that soaks into it. To achieve this, my personal preference is simply to wet the board with tap water before each use, and rinse it off quickly with hot water after. It then gets washed before the dishes (but usually after the plonk glasses at the usual time -- and given a bit of a scrub with a nail brush. I've been using the same 12" bit of 7" by 1/2" pine plank for about 40 years without problems. (Mind you, it doesn't *look* the best these days, but neither does anything else 40 years older.)
