Grout residue left on oak worktops..what's the best solution

 

[Dan]

Sand and varnish/oil or whatever finish it has. If a bit of soapy water isn't sorting it out.

Thanks Dan.. I'll try the soapy water 1st

If it's in the grain you'll need a French Polisher!
Too late now IMHO but for others -Never work over unsealed or unprotected wood of any type. Even drips from the sponge will stain.

I've had white spirit pull me out of the poo when the worktop hasn't had enough danish oil on it

It was due a seal too !

If it had been sealed you might have had a chance!

Hardwood is a terrible stainer....

Not much comfort to you, but.........I have never seen the point in Oak worktops.
It's not a matter of if, but when they will stain.
