Keeping your solid wooden worktops looking great after the onslaught of busy day-to-day life difficult task. That’s why now is the perfect time to give your wooden worktops some loving and make them look new again, in just 3 simple steps!

Step one: Keep them clean

For your worktops to look their best, you won’t want unwelcome stains to manifest themselves on your wood worktops.

It’s therefore very important to ensure that you keep your worktop as clean as possible – wiping up stains and grime as regularly as possible.

By keeping your worktop clean, you’ll have to do less additional aftercare, and will risk less unsafe bacteria growth.

Step two: A light sanding

If your worktops have been in situ for more than 3 years, or have not been regularly maintained, you may want to consider lightly sanding the worktop surface in order to bring it back to its best.

Step three: Oil

After cleaning your worktops, a fresh coat of oil will keep your worktops looking pristine, with an attractive sheen.

Although you do have to be careful not to over-oil worktops, we generally suggest oiling once water no longer beads on your surfaces.
