How to remove unknown stains on countertops?

Question

i just bought a new home and there are some marks/stains on the kitchen counter and bathroom counter that i cant get off. any advice to remove these stubborn stains. they are kind of a yellow color. THANKS!

Answer 1

maybe try WINDEX?

Answer 2

Spread on Soft Scrub/Vim/Cif (cream cleaner containing bleach) thickly, leave it there long enough to dry, and then wipe off with wet cloth.. i've done this before and it works.. repeat if necessary.

Answer 3

mix bleach, baking soda to get off the stains and optional lemonade to brighten it!

Answer 4

Dishwasher gel has a bleaching agent in it and it works really well for countertops, I use it on mine and my countertops are tan. It doesn't bleach out the color just the stains. Try it!

Answer 5

Try pouring a little bleach right on the stain and then "scrub" lightly with a nylon bristled brush (old toothbrush works).  If that doesn't work, it is sun spot or maybe stain from a burning cigarette.

Answer 6

Windex-let it sit for a few minutes before wiping or a magic eraser

Answer 7

I use cameo cleaner for counter stains. My kitchen counters are mica. It works well for sinks as well.

Answer 10

Magic Erasers are good at removing marks from worktops.  If that doesn't work try some chlorine bleach.
