Wood Countertops Maintenance. Put white vinegar in a spray bottle and dilute it 31 with water. I have had quite a few readers recently ask me about my wood counters in my old house and if they were difficult to take care of.
Unfinished wood counters need monthly oiling. Oiling your butcher block creates a barrier that stops both of these things. There are different types of stains that can be used for cleaning your wood countertop.
One of the main issues homeowners face with wooden countertops is that they are not heat-resistant.
After you have selected the type of countertop that will work best then you can focus on color and style. Put white vinegar in a spray bottle and dilute it 31 with water. Luckily if you do see a few minor scratches or cracks wood can be sanded so these issues can be easily fixed. Do NOT use products with ammonia or chlorine bleach or 409 type cleaners on your wood top.
