Inset sink with a built-in drainer will help protect the time from contact with water. Never put a hot pan or tray directly onto a wooden worktop – always use a trivet. Clean your surface with warm water, washing-up liquid and a soft cloth is all you need. Avoid using any abrasive and chemical-filled cleaning products and wire scouring pads.
The oiling instructions have been written in view that Rustin’s Danish Oil will be used.
Before you get on with the oiling ensure that the wood worktop surface is completely dry and clean. Also note that worktops usually come with two faces, the top side is the A- quality and the bottom side is the B – quality. The A-face has to be oiled with 4-5 coats in order to form a protective barrier against physical damage and water resistance, while the bottom face only requires 2-3 coats. Allow a drying time for each coating between 6-8 hours.
