It worked with alot of scrubbing with a scrubby sponge. Bleach wouldn't even remove these stains.

The Formica is light green in color. It worked! I let it sit for 10 minutes and rubbed gently with a papertowel for less than a minute. The new formica material stains more easily than the old. You'd think it would be better. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Stains on Formica Post By (Guest Post) (07/24/2005) I have a white Formica pebble grain counter top.

The only one that worked was compound that is used on automobiles. Get one that has a fine grit. It takes some elbow grease to accomplish, but it works. After cleaning them, use car wax. It does not scratch them. You will have to repolish about every 3 months. - Faye Report Spam or Abuse RE: Stains on Formica Post by ThriftyFun (3775) | (08/07/2003) Profile | Blog! | Contact Hi, the question about how to get out Formica stains..... this is one I have a lot of experience with. Although I hate using any toxic cleaners, I've never had good luck w/ Formica stains using baking soda, or vinegar, etc. The only thing that, unfortunately, works like a charm and very quickly is old-fashioned bleach. I squeeze out a wet sponge, pour some bleach on it, an then wipe the Formica stains. If it's stubborn stains, leave it on for a minute before wiping away. Make sure to clean area w/ plain water very well afterward. This works so well, that ground-in dirt also comes clean. Good luck. Arlene Report Spam or Abuse
