I just received my cart and the bamboo board has areas with a white haze. Anyone else have this problem? If so, what did you do? Thanks.

I picked up some wood/bamboo conditioning oil and applied a few coats on the board, and I reapply it about once a month for maintenance. It helps to give the butcher block a nice rich color and makes it easier to clean too. I'm guessing that will help with the white haze you're seeing. You can get it at kitchen stores (like bed bath and beyond) or here on amazon. Good luck!

Get some mineral oil and rub it into the board. It should clear those spits right up.

Mineral oil. It arrives with absolutely no moisture. Read up on caring for a bamboo cutting board.

You need to treat that top as you would a new cutting board. Use mineral oil, you can buy it here or at any pharmacy. The rule of thumb with a new board, as explained to me, is to oil it well once a day for a week, once a week for a month and once a month thereafter.

I did not have that experience, just smelled like any "new" product. I love this cart, I use it all the time and everyone always asks me where I got it from.

I am currently trying bleach and water. I have had this for a very long time and the bottle has become dingy. Looks like maybe mold. So I bought the newer version but the bottle leaks so we use it outside. Hope the bleach works to remove the brown dingy stuff from the inside.

we applied product to new Maple cutting board was absorbed into wood nicely. after application wait 20 minutes and wipe remaining product away and buff with a clean cloth. No greasy finish the wax in product beads water very well. Have not tried on bamboo but if unfinished would expect similar result. Good Luck! :0)

HEY Alsunusi! You know it's funny you ask that because, the first box I used and "FELL IN LOVE WITH" was the white box with I believe blue writing. The second box was the brown box, and it was horrible!!!! So, perhaps there is something to that. It's too late to call customer service at Phytospecific, but I will tomorrow and find out if there is a difference and what that difference is. Hopefully they have not reformulated the product or anything dumb like that. Thanks for asking!Eve

I also noticed this on my last order from Amazon. Prior experience has always been dry. I found this issue after their return period so, now what? All filters in the package were wet and had a little charcoal coming out.

I am still using my first cartridge, so I cannot be of any help, but can you contact the seller to inquire about your problem? I see someone else had a problem, so I will be on alert when I change to the new one. Sorry I cannot be of more help. bummer...

sorry you are burning your grass we are having the same problem. I feel the manufacture has a defect here. my husband has tried everything to stop this and the only thing that worked for him was he has to mow the grass twice as much to avoide the burn marks. sorry I could not be more help with the problems.

Mine has a little bit of a funny smell but it is normal, not off putting it is also very light in color. If you feel yours is truly bad then I would call the company you received it from. Did you purchase from the same company? It may vary from company to company. I'm just a customer. Its my first time using it so I am not a expert in this field.

Mine just came and it has a horrendous chemical smell. Will update in a week or two and let you know if it persists.

I had the same experience, a lot of my bags were bad, as if you were brewing cardboard. Very strange, never had a problem. Out of the 2 boxes ( 2 x 240 bags) one of them had mostly bad bags. I had to smell them before throwing it in my mug

Try the suggestions in this link. I've never had that problem with my board. http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6653868/list/how-to-clean-and-care-for-your-butcher-block

I have had the same challenges, took into camping world they serviced it and said it had dirt in the carbs, this is after I explained that was still new. I have not used since, I am not sure they resolved the problem. Let me know when you get a good answer.

I'm sorry to hear you had a problem. Mine arrived in perfect condition, and I've been using it daily with no problems. I'm sure Amazon will help with the return and sending another one to you. I LOVE mine!

I began smelling burning too around my 10th use, I noticed the fluff pressing against the stationary wheel (from where the resistance gears are) has been coming off. I plan to look further into it or call the company. It's like it's being burned off - turns into white powder...

I also think you should contact the seller. I've never had that problem. Either it got really hot in transit or it's from a old batch. Good luck!

the smell still there, but not as strong ... I put the Bounce sheets (the ones you would use when drying clothing in the dryer) in side of the portfolio and hope that the smell would go away sooner or later ... so far, I am not able to use this portfolio and I am out of $50+ dollars ... joy of shop on line.I have been shopping on Amazon for a long time and am always very happy with what I bought ... but lately, things seemed to be a bit off ... Is Amazon "outsourcing" its service ???
