Wood tables can be treated the same way as cutting boards. Wipe down the table with a clean, damp cloth after each use. If you notice any stains, make a paste of baking soda and water and rub it into the stain.
Let it sit for a few minutes, then wipe away. You can also try using white vinegar or lemon juice to help remove any stubborn stains. For more serious stains, you may need to sand the area down and refinish it. This is best left to a professional, as sanding too deeply can damage the wood.
If you do attempt it yourself, be sure to sand in the direction of the grain and start with a coarse grit paper before moving on to finer grits. Finish up by applying a food-safe finish to the table. Removing stains from a wood table or cutting board is relatively easy, but it does require a bit of care and attention. Be sure to clean up any spills right away and always use a cutting board or tablecloth to protect the surface. With a little bit of TLC, your wood table or cutting board will last for many years to come.
