Soap stain on bathroom counters

9 years ago

My husband bought some kind of orange pump soap and it stained both of my bathroom counters. It is a stained a yellow brown color. One counter was installed 4 years ago by the previous owner. The other is the original counter from 75. Both are some kind of man made stone looking counter. I just can't get it out. I have tried HP and baking soda, lemon, dawn, vineger, bleach, rust remover and over the counter cleaners. Still there. HELP

On one site they suggest a Magic Eraser. Try on a small spot to make sure it doesn't ruin the surface. Worth a try?

How long did you leave the baking soda and peroxide paste on the stain? I'd leave it for a good long time to give it a chance to actually bleach the stain. You can get a higher power peroxide at a beauty supply store...or ask for a few ounces from your hairdresser.

If that doesn't work, then I'd write to the soap manufacturer and ask them to replace my counter top.

I left it on over night. Maybe I will look for a higher concentration of HP. Never thought about it coming in different strengths. Yep I did try the magic eraser. Who knows where my husband got the soap. He does the grocery shopping. I have been fighting this stain for about a year.

If a poultice doesn't work, maybe you could sand the stained area?
