Stain Removal: Grape Juice on Butcher Block
Butcher block countertops and cutting boards are beloved for their natural beauty and durability, so when my butcher block island got a grape juice stain I wasn’t happy. One of my kiddos had a little spill and it wasn’t noticed until hours later when it had dried and absorbed into the wood.
So I put together an arsenal to try and here’s what I came up with.

Step-by-Step Cleaning Process:
I first tried diluting some hydrogen peroxide with water and used a q-tip to apply it to the stained area. I let it sit a couple minutes and wiped it off with some white vinegar, but the stain was still there. On to plan #2…
So I decided to try full strength hydrogen peroxide
. I Qtip’ed it on and left it for a minute to soak in.
Then I took a paper towel soaked in white vinegar
and wiped the hydrogen peroxide
away… scrubbing it well.
And much to my shock… when it dried…
THE GRAPE JUICE STAIN WAS GONE!!!! How awesome is that! With 2 products I had in my home and just a few minutes of work my butcher block counter was back to it’s original beauty.
Needless to say I’m BEYOND thrilled and couldn’t wait to share this awesome cleaning tip with you guys.
