Cough Syrup Stain On Bathroom Sink Counter - How Do I Clean?

Question

We have a cough syrup stain on our bathroom sink counter. It is Robatussin. I've tried cleaning it and have gotten it to a link pink color, but the stain is still there.

Any suggestions on how I can get the stain out. I'm willing to try professional cleaning products if necessary.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

BarKeepers Friend (cleaning aisle by the comet in a gold canister). Wet the area, sprinkle liberally, allow to sit 5 minutes then come back with a toothbrush or nail brush and scrub that stain away. I have used this stuff on formica, stainless, chrome, tiles, porcelain and even copper with wonderful, non harmful results. It has worked on many stains that bleach wouldn't touch.

Answer 2

try hairspray.  We used it at work to get ink stains off those countertops......

Answer 3

The only thing that you might try to get the cough syrup out

of the sink counter is to use bleach.

Answer 4

I would try a paper towel soaked in bleach and laying it on the stain. Let it sit for 5 minutes, check it , let it sit., etc. and see if it will come out.

Answer 5

How you clean it depends on the surface material of your counter. Go to a home improvement store like Home Depot and ask a clerk.
