Bleach Stains on Formica

RE: Bleach Stains on Formica Post By College Student (Guest Post) (06/30/2008) I have an orange formica countertop which unfortunately has a stain on it from a bottle of cleaning solution being tipped over in the middle of the night. I now have a light orange color instead of a bright orange color. I have tried using a sharpie which isn't working and am currently trying to use an orange acrylic paint - which doesn't look promising. Any suggestions on how I can turn the light orange back to bright orange?

Anybody have advice for bleaching and possibly dying them? Thanks.

I tried the lemon juice but it only "muted" the stain. I sprinkled the RUST OUT on the stains and rubbed with a damp paper towel. The stains were gone. Thank you for the great tip!

I had a lovely blue candle sitting on my formica counter top.....and after I picked it up I noticed a nice blue ring from the wax's dye...sitting on the counter. I've tried a few products on it- don't worry, I know that bleach and formica don't get along so I'm not doing that one- but does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do to get rid of the stains? I have to get rid of them or I don't get my apartment deposit back!

I could not find anything until I read that someone used Super Iron Out multi purpose rust stain remover. Believe me it really did work. It comes in a powered form, I belive I got it at the dollar store. but I poured the powered on the stain THEN I added the water let it set for a short time and the crystal will turn to an organe color then just wipe away and the stain is gone. they do have web site listed on th back of the bottle. WWW.Ironout.com hope it work for ya'll like it did me.

I must admit that I am very careless with it and get all kinds of stains from craft projects, including Rit Dye, and Clorox Cleanup always gets rid of them. It's my favorite cleaning product for kitchen and bath.

Would it be any different for a counter top. I will check back and see!

I left it on a long time while going off to do other things. So now there are yellow stains from the bleach. Short of replacing (or painting) it all, any suggestions out there for me? Thanks in advance! Tonya Answers: RE: Formica I've done the same thing. Soft scrub worked for me. (05/16/2002) By Sandy RE: Bleach Stains on Formica I have had all kinds of stains on my "almost white" kitchen counter tops! After using a juicer w/ cranberries, I had a red stain about a foot in diameter. Ah! Get out the bleach, right? Wrong. What was a soft red stain immediately turned BRIGHT ORANGE with the bleach! I thought I had ruined the counter. My Bar Keeper's Helper, soft scrub - Nothing fazed it. I thought of lemon juice. (Don't know why.) The lemon juice (reconstituted) almost immediately faded the stain. I use the lemon juice (the cheap, big bottle) for the Formica cabinet tops exclusively now. (06/30/2004) By Sharon RE: Bleach Stains on Formica Glad to see the lemon juice trick. Will give that a try myself. Did the same thing with bleach trying to clean up coffee stains off the counter. (06/15/2005) By mamiewestern RE: Bleach Stains on Formica I tried absolutely everything, until I read this on the internet. Reconstituted Lemon Juice is the answer. It took the stain off the cream colored counter not problem. Great solution, thanks for the advice (04/05/2006) By Georgiana RE: Bleach Stains on Formica Try a combination of 1/4 c. hydrogen peroxide, 1 T. baking soda, and 1 T. white vinegar. Rub it in the stain and let stand for at least 10 minutes, then remove the solution with a clean damp cloth. I am not going to say magically the stain disappears, but it makes it drastically less noticeable. (04/28/2006) By Felicia Report Spam or Abuse
