Hi All,

Was cleaning the kitchen yesterday, used a product not to use on wood :/

Now I have white patches, when I wet the worktop they go. It looks as if the top coat of oil.varnish has come off.

Is it just a case of re-oiling?

Or any other cost saving tips?

    I would use oil, yes. Worst case scenario you can give the lot a sand and oil, but you might get away with just oiling that spot.
  • Could I just give the whole lot one oil cover and not sand?

    Sand the bleach stain don't do too much then apply wax or varnish hope it works
  • Thanks. I dont think it's "stained" i think its just taken the top layer of oil off as it was only a small amount. Hoping I can just polish it up.
