Left oil on for too long, and now all the worktops are so sticky. Tried washing off with Fairy liquid and White vinegar, as well as kitchen cleaner/spray but still too thick and sticky. How can I get rid of this sticky top layer of oil ? Thanks all

Try meths. Don't smoke or light the cooker whilst using!
Get rid of the wooden worktops - they're a health hazard.
Had the same thing in one of my local pubs recently. They'd made the mistake of applying the oil with a brush, so it was much too thick.

I used a cabinet scraper. It's basically a flat blade that you pull towards you to scrape the oil excess off. If you dismantle a carpenter's plane and take the blade out, that works just as well. :o)
How are they a health hazard?

Maybe try wire wool.
I had the same problem with my oak kitchen worktops even though I used the recomended oil and applicator (a foam brush). I never did solve it completely. some info here..
