How to protect bamboo cutting board?

Hi, I am going to purchase a Bamboo cutting board and I've heard of other people saying theirs has split in half or cracked. To prevent this, I hear I need to apply Food Safe Mineral Oil to the board. How often would I need to do this if I use my cutting board everyday, cutting a few vegetables a day and hand washing it with soap and water everyday after each use?

Initially use the food safe mineral oil after each use. All that you do is use a squirt about the size of a dime and rub it in with a paper towel. After a couple of weeks just use the oil for conditioning, about once a month. The mineral oil is very inexpensive and little goes a long way. My board is old with a beautiful patina. When I cut anything questionable on it I just spray it with a disinfectant ( like 409), wipe it off and condition it. For fruits and vegetables I just wipe it off with a damp cloth.
Reply:I use mine at least two times a day, usually three times a day, and have had it for about a year. I haven't had any cracks at all. I just scrub it after I use and store it upright so it dries quickly. It doesn't get roughed up the way regular wood cutting boards do, but the finish does get a bit worn. I can't complain, though. I think I paid five bucks for it and it's the best cutting board I've ever used.
