My neighbour has one of those wooden worktops that looks like blocks of wood, I think you can get them in Ikea to give you an idea what I am talking about.

It is mouldy in one or 2 places as they always get it so wet and leave it like that too long but particularly so where they have a cloth which they put washed up cups on. When you lift that up it is quite bad with black marks. I know it should be treated and looked after much better than what I describe and not be allowed to get so wet and I have told them that many times.

They have now sanded it to try and sort it out and it is still mouldy even after a lot of sanding, so any ideas what to do, they have asked me for help but if sanding didn't work I am not sure what else they could do?

I know you can get these wooden worktops in different timbers and I think theirs looks like pine.

So is it possible to sand the problem out or would you treat it with something before putting on the oil to protect it or are they stuck with it?
