I would second Don's comments and also not use "severe" solvents such as acetone which will suck the oil out of the wood and unless well retreated will offer a porus surface to attract more crud. A severe life-style change is in order not to repeat the onerous condition. We have discussed oils and oiling many times but when given a soapbox I will reiterate my feelings about using a mixture of natural oils with emulsifiers and the proper antioxidants which duplicate and restore the oil and water balance of the wood. The hot oil treatment aids in the penetrration of the oils used but this penetration of oil can also be achieved by using the proper mixture of oils and emulsifiers to maintain a particle or colloid size which will fully penetrate the wood. Certain of these special antioxidants also have bacteriostatic and fungistatic properties which help prevent or inhibit the growth of bacteria and molds to a certain extent - certainly not the one described above however. If you ever have the urge to play right after eating I would paste a copy of Gordon's response to the inside of my case and this should dissuade you from doing it!!
