I want to know if Super Iron Out is a safe product to take off bleach stains in my colored Formica (salmon color) countertop. I used the other products like ( lemon, baking soda, Oxiclean, silver cleaner, etc.) nothing takes off the bleach stains. Also I need the instructions to apply the Super Iron Out. Any other ideas will be very appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Yes you can use IronOut. However, it will only remove the stain if it is rust.
Bleach does not leave a stain, it removes color. Possibly applying some kind of stain or dye could restore a bit of color?
Great idea, to add enough color to the oil base stuff, WD40, some other really penetrating oil, whatever...then finish somehow the texture difference....I have used candle wax, melted into any nicks in formica...the supporting masonite-type stuff drinks up the wax and does not swell like it would if allowed to become wet more than one time with other liquids. Use an iron to get your burnished wax most deeply into the warmed sub-surface.
Didnt work on bleached out hunter green Formica top. :(. Other ideas?
Bleach does leave a yellow stain on formica. It may be older more porous formica, but any clorox/bleach based cleaner definitely turns my bathroom formica yellow.
You people rock, thank you so much! We have a vanity top in one of our bathrooms that's a green veined malachite looking laminate. I had 3 bleached out rings on it from keeping a jar of jewelry cleaning liquid on it.
Rub WD-40 on the etched stain. The oil will penetrate the surface made porous by the bleach. I have a dark green Formica bathroom counter that I left some toilet bowl cleaner on. It left a nasty white ring. DO NOT sand, as others have suggested. Just squirt oil and rub out. Ring will be invisible.
Excallent idea! Not perfect but unless you know it's there you can't see it well at all! Didn't have WD40 so used lock ease. Thanks!
Thanks for the tip. I have a black speckled worktop with quite a large rectanglular bleach stain from soaking a lunchbox in kitchen cleaner with bleach. WD-40 works really well and I just keep topping it up when the stain starts showing through again.
This worked for me!! Do I rub it in until it is dry?
No don't use it I did and it damaged the counter too now everything shows on it
