Frequently Asked Questions

To keep your wooden worktops looking their best, wipe them daily with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or leaving water to sit on the surface. Always dry the area thoroughly to protect the wood from swelling or staining. Regular cleaning helps maintain the natural finish and prevents damage over time.
Oiling your worktop is essential for protecting it from moisture and maintaining its rich colour. Start by cleaning and drying the surface completely. Apply a thin, even coat of food-safe worktop oil using a lint-free cloth or brush, following the direction of the grain. Leave it to absorb for around 15–20 minutes before wiping off any excess. For new worktops, oil every 2–3 weeks at first, then every few months to preserve the finish.
Treatment involves more than just oiling; it’s about regular care. In addition to applying oil, ensure your worktops are properly sealed around sinks and appliances to prevent water ingress. Avoid placing hot pans directly on the surface, and always use chopping boards to prevent scratches. With the right treatment, a solid wood worktop can last for decades and age beautifully.
The best wood depends on your style, budget, and how you use your kitchen. Oak is a timeless favourite, known for its strength and warm tones. Walnut offers a darker, luxurious look, while beech gives a lighter, contemporary feel. For busy kitchens, Iroko and Bamboo are particularly durable and water-resistant, making them ideal for family homes or high-use spaces.
If your worktop becomes scratched or dull, light sanding can restore its original beauty. Begin by cleaning the surface and ensuring it’s completely dry. Use fine-grit sandpaper (such as 240 grit) to gently sand along the grain, removing marks or worn patches. Once smooth, wipe away the dust and reapply oil to protect and revive the surface’s natural sheen.
