Whether you run a busy bar in Melbourne or a cosy coastal pub in Queensland, wooden bar tops are a centrepiece of charm and character. However, they’re also vulnerable to one of the most common issues in hospitality — liquor stains. Alcohol spills, cocktail acids, and sugary mixers can easily dull the surface or leave permanent marks if not cleaned correctly. The key is knowing how to remove stains without damaging the wood’s protective finish.
