Spilt worktop oil in new kitchen

[mitch84]

Hi all,
I oiled my oak worktops myself with Osmo oil, but stupidly wasn’t that careful with my brand new hob and my ceramic sink, I genuinely thought that the oil would just wipe off, well it didn’t, it’s like glue and dries cloudy.

I have a very small barely noticeable stain in my sink (I know it’s there but no one else would) but there is a more visible stain on my gas hob.
I have tried white spirits and nail varnish remover (with acetone). Any other ideas?
It’s not bad enough to change the hob, but it is annoying me

Oh no! What a pain. It would annoy me too. Once you know it's there it's all you'll look at. I then end up pointing out any imperfections to visitors 😂

What's your hob made of?

From Google...how to remove osmo from -

Glass... Fill a spray bottle with equal parts water and white vinegar. Spray the vinegar mixture onto the oil-affected area of the door, then wipe it off with a paper towel. Continue until the glass appears clear and free of oil and grease.

Brushed steel...
(from mumsnet... No I'm not on it... via Google 😂 ) someone mentioned trying Acetone nail polish remover, all I had was Acetone Free nail polish remover, but I tried it and it worked. With a little elbow grease it all came off, wiped it all down after with steel cleaner spray from Wilko and it all looks good as new!

Oh my... what a shame!

Hopefully you can get the stains off. On both, I would consider BarKeepers Friend (original powder version), or a hob cleaner called Wellco cream ceramic hob cleaner. It is brilliant at restoring glass hobs.

Best of luck!

Contact the manufacturers of Osmo to see what they can suggest?

Sorry I completely forgot to mention that my hob is metal! I’ll take a photo shortly x

Sorry to hear here some ideas

Acetone : nail varnish remover
Xylene/toluene : specialist paint thinner (halfords)

Ethanol: methylated spirits hasn't done much so I would try the above.

I would then try chlorinated solvents. Dichloromethane or similar. On ebay but expensive.

Thanks! I’ll try the nail polish remover again. I didn’t use loads of elbow grease as I was worried about rubbing off the black markings, but I’ll give it another shot. I’m so clumsy 😂

Have you tried Astonish Oven and grill cleaner? Was recommended to me by the people that fitted my quartz worktops in case I marked them with anything. It is amazing
