Dents in Wooden Worktops. Wooden worktops could be the subject of dents if a heavy fallen object has hit the wood surface. If that happens there's a quick fix. Spray some water on the dent, place a textile fabric on top of the dent and iron the surface. Quality wooden worktop should react well to this fix and raise back.
