Laminate countertop bleach stain +

4 years ago

Hi we have a black/grey laminate bathroom counter and I left a bathroom cleaner container on it containing bleach, not once but twice now! My husband decided to fill it in with black magic marker, and it's not nice to say the least as you can see, the other blends into the design somewhat. I don't know if both can be removed now, and I prefer not to replace it if at all possible as there are tiles all around it.
Any suggestions?

try rubbing alcohol for removing the magic marker. I'm all for touching up things with a Sharpie, but they make multiple colors for a reason! :) If you're going to color it in, don't color it in solid--gotta be a little artistic and try to match the pattern.

the other mark doesn't seem that bad with the grey bits already in the counter. How bad is it from further off?

Ty, if it comes off, how do I get rid of the bleach stain if it's repairable? The other mark isn't that noticeable to be honest

The magic markers will work, you just need the right color, not the jet black, since your counters are not jet black.
