Overview
The Auro Worktop Oil is a clear breathable oil suitable for interior surfaces such as Counter tops, Worktops, and Tables. It is made from natural ingredients from renewable and mineral sources. It is solvent free, durable and washable. It produces a slightly honey hue. The Auro Worktop Oil does not contain any synthetic ingredients or solvents and is vegan friendly. It is long lasting and when eventually worn it can be very easily renovated by adding another thin layer of oil.
Where to use it
Auro Worktop oil 108 is a very popular choice for homes across Ireland. It can be used on counter tops, table tops and worktops. It is available in a 500ml tin. The oil can go directly onto bare timber. If the surface was previously oiled with another product, we recommend sanding it back to the bare wood and starting again. If sanding back is not an option, a test patch of Auro Worktop Oil 108 should be applied to check compatibility prior to carrying out the job.
What it does
Worktop Oil 108 provides an excellent hard wearing, long lasting protection which emphasises the wood’s natural grain. It gives your wooden surface the protection it needs with a slightly shiny finish (between matt and satin) and a slight honey colour hue.
How it works
This oil fills the open pores of the timber protecting it from dirt, grease and water while allowing the surface to breathe. It makes the wood easy to wipe clean. Auro Worktop Oil is made from purely natural oils so there are no harmful materials which make it perfectly suited for busy surfaces.

Hints and Tips
Brushes and other tools should be cleaned with Auro Thinner 191 and subsequently washed with water and Auro Plant soap 411.
Spread out all soiled cleaning cloths to dry or keep in a tightly closed tin can. Do not crumple them, because drying oils can ignite spontaneously. You can put dry cloths into household waste.
The Auro Dishwashing Liquid 473 is a great cleaner for counter tops and surfaces treated with this oil.
The surface can be easily revived by adding a thin layer of oil when any renovation is necessary.

Key Technical Data
Installation Guide
It is very easy to apply by brush, roller, spatula or cloth. When applying any Auro oil, the aim is to have all the wood’s pores filled with oil, so they are fully saturated. To improve absorption, the Auro Worktop Oil can be thinned with Auro Orange Oil 191 up to 20%. When applying the oil, it is important to wipe away any excess that has not been absorbed by the wood within 20-30 minutes. After 24 hours the process of applying and removing excess can be repeated until the wood is fully saturated. Generally, 2 coats are sufficient. For very absorbent woods, you will see that all the oil has been quickly absorbed after the second application and therefore a further application will be needed. Full hardness is achieved after 4 weeks so it is important to treat the surface with care during this period.
