In the event of stripe, wait until wood is dry, a simple small blow of sandpapering and then revarnishing it and your bath-tub/sink is like new.
Pure or varnished products?

2-An easy maintenance, (a simple sponge blow after use). You do not need to dry it, oil it to leave water continualy.
3-A perfect hygiene, the varnish protects from the bacteria and dirtiness which can, on the contrary, be fixed in a pure wood product.
