Ahah now this is something I kind of DO ACTUALLY KNOW! My dad did it a few weeks ago because we bought a house with wooden counter tops. They had eventually gone mouldy. My dad sanded them down and bought some waz, and just put the waz on a cloh and rubbed it on the counter tops. It stank for a while but it DID WORK!! Clever, eh. But seriously, the other side was so bad it was beyond repair, so if you are having them near a tap just don't bother. Seriously. Change it to granite. By the way, don't I have good knowledge (i'm only 13!) But don't make that a reason to not trust me, y'know! Sorry, I just wrote, on the previous one, waz. I meant wax. Should have checked my work really!
