Take straight bleach, soak a white wash rag or washcloth you dont care if it gets bleach on it, squeeze a little over the stain then let soaked wash cloth set for 7-10 minutes on stain. Then go ahead and wipe down the rest of your counter top and kill two birds with one stone. Rinse well.

I use 409 Orange Cleaner on everything. Gets coffee stains up great for me.

For Kool-Aid stains, I use dish soap. I have always used Dawn, but I don't know if the brand matters. Squirt some on the stain, rub it in a bit, let it sit a few minutes, then wipe clean. It may take a few tries, but if it works for red dye it may work on coffee!

Coffee stains on laminate should be like coffee stains in cups. Try to scrub them with just salt, or make a paste of salt and lemon and let it sit on the stains for a bit, then wash off.

Try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.

Get a bottle of oxy-clean, the one with a sprayer in it, spray this on your stains or use a little bleach , hope this works for you,

If your counters are beige or cream coloured, bleach will "yellow" them, I use baking soda and vinegar, it works for coffee stains, mustard, anything organic...remember like-disolves like- example: oily for oily, white wine for red wine, food based for food based, I have two boys and a home daycare, I do consider myself a stain expert!

When I get stains on my butchersblock countertops I use pure bleach on the stain and it cleans in in a matter of less than 30 seconds...it should be the same with anytime of laminate. Be careful though because the strong bleach will dry your hands. Beverly in Arkansas
