We've moved into a home where the
kitchen countertops are formica.

Wife claims they are "open", and should be sealed,
else anything in the world will stain them.

What do you use to "seal" older formica countertops ?

Floor-wax comes to mind,
but I don't think it'd be "food-friendly"

????

SIMONIZE ?

It sounds like you really need new laminate or another countertop.
Formica should be sealed but once that top gets etched it will stain.

Tell wife to stick to snapping beans...they don't need anything.

Your wife can claim she is a Queen of some exotic country too, butt hat does
not make it true.

You don't put anything on them.

Eh, if it makes her feel better, a good coat of wax can't hurt. Just make
sure it doesn't include anything toxic, since food inevitably touches the
counter. But the other posters are right, laminate doesn't really need any
sealing. If top is worn away, replacement is the cure.
