I've made an application to a lettings agent for a property that I really like. The only thing that's bugging me slightly is that the kitchen has wooden worktops and I have NO idea how to care for or clean them! Does anyone have any ideas? It's a dark wood, walnut colour i guess? Looks very fancy :undecided

    Are they wood or laminate that looks like real wood?
    Google is your friend - there are lots of you tube videos on this type of thing.

    Real wood is easy, just needs oiling every couple of months. Other than that just wipe and clean as you would laminate. And the best thing is that any marks or scratches etc you can just sand down and re-oil, will be good as new.
