Oxalic acid might be a quicker fix. It’s the main ingredient in a branded product called bar keeper’s friend, if I remember correctly. Stains could be a result of cast iron reacting with the tannic acid in the wood, if you have cast iron pots and such. You could probably reduce staining by applying a food safe hard wax over the maple, but no doubt you have considered that.
