I have used the Ikea 'oil' on my wood worktops and when I started I wasn't that happy as things still kept marking it, however after I have used it several times now I am pleased with the result and really doesn't seem to show much dirt or stains. Wood is always going to show some character though, but isn't that it's appeal?
Hope this helps,
