Yellow counter tops
-
Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Sep 10, 2014If these are Laminate tops your out of luck. Laminate counters are a plastic coating over layers of a special paper embedded with an epoxy. Once the bleach has got into the top your pretty much toast. Only thing I could suggest is trying polishing compound that they use on autos. Perhaps if its just the surface it might remove the stain. But I would not bet on it.Helpful Reply

Shari on Sep 10, 2014I used to have white laminate kitchen counter tops in a former home. I would use Clorox Cleanup on them and sometimes if I left it on a little too long, it would create yellowed spots. I always had good luck buffing them out using Comet Cleanser and a soft scrubbie sponge (but do not use any bleach product and Comet together because it can create noxious fumes!). This may or may not work for you, depending on the condition of the counter tops, how extensive the spots are etc., but it's worth a try. Also, you could try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser sponge. It's amazing what those things will remove but I didn't know about their awesomeness back then.Helpful Reply

Debi Cannon on Sep 10, 2014Vinegar work the first time, but someone came behind me and used Clorox again now the vinigar won't work, try comet w/scrubber no good, now trying auto polish as suggested. If this don't work I think they are stuck with yellow counters. Its a shame. If they were mine I'd. Be having a fitHelpful Reply

Darla on Sep 10, 2014If i were you, I'd wax the counters well after you get them clean. It might keep the bleach from getting into the laminate next time.Helpful Reply
