Question

Laid a raw potato on my formica and it stained. Any suggestions?I tried vinegar, soft scrub, and all cleaners.

Answer 1

Man, these people trying to hawk their Amway wares crack me up.  Anyway, when I had formica countertops, I used to use bleach water on them all the time.  Wet a rag with bleach water and lay it directly over the stain for a few minutes, then wipe and it'll be as good as new.

Answer 2

Have you tried straight bleach? It works for koolaid stains

Answer 3

try some baking soda. like in a paste. or lay some salt on it. leave it on over night.

Answer 4

Try Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

Answer 5

Enzymes.

Try a laundry detergent with enzymes.

If that doesn't work, l**k it.  Really.  Potato has starch and amylase in your saliva breaks down starch.
