Does this product effect the color of the wood? The area around my sink really needs help and just mineral oil doesn't last. Thx.

It will very slightly darken the wood. It will act almost like an enhancer, and the wood will look richer than before it was applied (this was on oak and Birch). I use it on the wooden handles of my custom knives. It may last a bit longer for you as it contains beeswax. I am a believer in it, though I have not used it around a sink. However, I cannot see it causing any harm. Good luck. Tks.

I use this on my Boos butcher block table, it does not change the color of the wood. it does a great job of moisturizing the wood.

It has not changed the color of my cutting board. Just gives it a nice moisturizing!

Keep in mind that this is a cutting board product. That said, I tried it on an antique chair I have thinking wood is wood. It is an all wood chair. The final result was amazing. The chair came to life. It didn't change the color of the wood but it did give it a low grade rich shine. This is mineral oil with a wax for protection. I took a lot of time buffing the chair to make sure there was no "slickness" remaining. Again I stress that this is not the intended use of this product. I tested an area of the chair first because I didn't want to ruin my chair.

I have a commercial grade butcher block sitting in my kitchen, oak colored wood...it deepens the color in certain areas (those that are used most often) but not all areas. I presume the key to be the absorbency of the wood.

All my kithen wood products had never been re-conditioned and were brought back to their original rich wood tones after using this John Boos product. A little goes a long way and only one application was needed. I am amazed and proud to use all my wooden bowls and utensils again. I am sure it will be very helpful on your butcher block counters. Water beads up and can be easily removed after using this product. Please give it a try.

Ours looks fine after daily showers since September. I applied the Teak Oil as instructed and it looks no different today. Plan to give it another oiling around its year anniversary. it's a very nice looking, sturdy bench and i am very happy with my purchase.

I don't think you can get rid of the dark stain because it has penetrated the wood and not just on the surface. The mystery oil is what You needed to use the oil when your block was new so as to prevent your problem. However, use the oil to prevent further damage as it lubricates the wood and also cleans it. I use my oil quite often and my block looks good! I think your stain is there to stay!

no, no color changes are apparent or visible, but the "Bulletproof" stone sealer I used on my marble bathroom vanity top did not protect it from PINESOL, which has now stained the marble, thanks to my girlfriend using PINESOL to clean the marble...it is now damaged forever.

Hi.This is oil so it should be applied to bare wood. The wood absorbs it and that creates the water resistance that you want for outdoor furniture. Oil of any kind rubbed onto finished wood would just create a greasy surface.Hope this is helpful.-Nik

I had shiny wood gloss stain (I can not remember exact) and it went on without sanding at all! I also had paint on one of my cabinets and it went on that as well! It is still on and still looking great after at least 2 months!

I was say it lightens the wood....it adds moisture to places where the wood is dry. I have used it on my light oak kitchen cabinets and my bedroom furniture which is darker.

I live in Washington State so it doesn't really dry out the wood, I believe that mineral oil could be used on the outside to prevent damage to the wood

No problems with the oil rubbed bronze Kohler sink flange color peeling off with ours. It is used in the sink that does all the washing and sees 90% of our sink activity with no color issues. It installs like a drain, plumber putty it in the hole, the disposal has an attachment on it the secures the two together. The rubber boot fits down inside & the stopper sits on the top of the boot. Do not push sown on the stopper, just set it in the opening and it seals up perfect. So remove your old drain from under the sink, clean old putty up and re-putty your new one into place and attach the disposal with the flange on the disposal. It is really simple to do, hope this helps. No problems with the oil rubbed bronze Kohler sink flange color peeling off with ours.

This product is an excellent copper CLEANER. But if you want to preserve the copper-color finish, you'll probably have to find a different product. I know that when it comes to copper hardware (handles, doorplates and the like) you can use a wax or lacquer to preserve the color. I don't know what you could use on a sink; I suggest you contact the manufacturer and see if there is a specific sealer available.

Sounds like hard water and soap scum. My wife wipes down our sink once a week with baby oil and it keeps a beautiful sheen. Just a very light coat will work and it will continue to look brand new.

When I bought this I went on the Blanco sink website and it said the cleaner was for all their sinks. I have a brown color one. It did not work on my sink. I emailed the company and they replied with " It is only for white sinks." I was upset that their website did not specify. I have tried all cleaners and nothing will take the white calcium color away and restore my deep brown color. :( Good luck ! Hope it works on your white !

I bought this sink last year and to answer your question about staining, the answer is yes, and my wife has tried all she could to get the stains out and nothing helps. I most certainly do not recommend this sink nor will I ever buy it again. The white has turned to this disgusting dirty yellow and nothing is helping: bleach, comet, scrubbing.

Yes, it works great. I bought it especially for this purpose. Like in a previous response if the counter is especially cold I also warmed mine with a blow dryer. I also used it on my sink. Doesn't last as long but, it looks really nice. Much better than mineral oil.

Actually, I just applied Preserva Wood, a semi-transparent, oil-based stain, using the sprayer, and it worked fine (mine was "Redwood" color, it it matters). Everything worked well, although I did spend a while cleaning the sprayer afterwards to make sure I got all the stain out, so that it would get gunky inside.

The wood does not appear to be treated with anything, however, I have had mine in my kitchen for over a year and see no problems. It has gotten wet, but as long as it is just wiped off appears to have no effect and I see no stains or changes. Suppose you could cover it with a polyurethane once you got it. Very pleased with mine.

No..I would not..it can leave a white residue on darker sinks. I would recommend using bar keepers friend to clean, then use mineral oil after cleaning to short term seal the clean as well as bring out the great colour of the sink
