I freaked out when my I noticed the countertops in my brand-new apartment had turned a disgusting yellow. I could not figure out what it was. I used bleach over and over again...not realizing that it was the bleach that was creating the problem. I have always used Clorox clean-up and had never had a problem in the past. I googled the problem looking for a solution and found this website. Thank God! One of the users suggested Tarnex and it worked in 30 seconds or less. I was blown away that the suggestion actually worked. I was prepared for disappointment. It worked fabulously.

Try something called "Bar keepers Friend". I have used it numerous times to get stains out of my white formica countertops, and it works great. You may have to make a "paste" with some water and let it set on the stain for a while, depending on how long the stain has been there. I have great success with this product, works well on sinks too. It is in the isle close to the Comet in your grocery store.

You might try a cleaner like "Dawn Power Dissolver" or a cheaper alternative and just as effective is a product you can buy at Dollar General and it is called "Awesome". I paid $1 for it at my Dollar General. A jar of pickled beets got tipped in my frig and the juice stained the white plastic parts of my frig. It took it right off where other products did not.
