How do I get rust stains off my formica-like countertop?

In my duplex, the stainless steel (ha) sink has rusted underneath and there's now a rust stain on my countertop that goes halfway around the sink. Maintenance said just use CLR...CLR says not to use it on countertops. Any ideas?
Suggested Project Book
I would scrub it with an SOS pad. That or get Maintenance man's word in writing so when it messes up, they have to replace it .
3M pad will work with baking soda and vinegar. But all you need is some baking soda and half a lemon sprinkle BS and scrub with the cut lemon, or cream of tarter and peroxide. I had that happen to ours it was rust transfer from ( dummy me setting a cast iron in it to cool off and ran some water next to it in the sink didn't think to dry it off ) I left it over night and when I picked up my skillet it and the sink were rusted.
try a paste of baking soda and white Vinegar. Let it sit 15 min maybe more but keep an eye on it. I don't think it damages formica but if it's old it's worth checking
I soak the spot with wet baking soda for a few hours then wipe it away
Make a mixture of cream of tartar and lemon juice,or baking soda and white vinegar into a paste.Leave on long enough for the solutions to penetrate the rust.
Thanks. I'll try it!
Thanks everyone, so much!!!
Try baking soda and lemon juice.
