I want to know if Super Iron Out is a safe product to take off bleach stains in my colored Formica (salmon color) countertop. I used the other products like ( lemon, baking soda, Oxiclean, silver cleaner, etc.) nothing takes off the bleach stains. Also I need the instructions to apply the Super Iron Out. Any other ideas will be very appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Yes you can use IronOut. However, it will only remove the stain if it is rust.
Bleach does not leave a stain, it removes color. Possibly applying some kind of stain or dye could restore a bit of color?
Rub WD-40 on the etched stain. The oil will penetrate the surface made porous by the bleach. I have a dark green Formica bathroom counter that I left some toilet bowl cleaner on.
I have what I can only describe as bleached spots on my black laminate counter top. Does anyone now how to remove them, or are they bleached permanently. Thanks.

Don't know what the spots could be but I have a solution that will not look perfect but better than it is now. Cover the white areas with a permanent black marker. I have done this on purses, pants, etc and it has held up through the wash. Good luck.
Laminate is only paper with coating. When that coating has worn off you will get a different color. They don't make laminate like they use to.
how do i get white out out of balck pants
Does anyone know how I can clean my black laminate benchtop. No matter what I use, it always seems to look dirty.
Any ideas?
Bleaching a Formica counter top for me has been awful. I thought it was a stain from someone setting something on it, so I soaked the spot with bleach and it got worse. Now I have the same stain only bigger. It's frustrating. If anyone knows what to do please let us know.

If bleach has taken the color out, it is not a stain, but the total loss of color. You can't remove this mark.
I have white Clorox stains on my dark Formica counter top. Please help.

Really can't bring back what's lost for color. If you can't hide it under something you may have to replace it. Sorry.
There are new products out now. Home Depot carries a product that allows you to re-color your counter tops. It's approx.
I have a Formica countertop in my bathroom. It is only about 3 years old. I have places on my countertop that look "bleached out" from bottles of cleaner I have used and evidently they leaked a little bit. What can I do? I really don't want to keep it like this.

Thank u sooooooo much!!!!!!
I just bought a 2005 mobile home. I have an old white formica kitchen counter top, and a medium laminate base cabinet that has bleach bubbles on both. How can I repair it?
I have white formica cabinets; they got stains from a tile acid cleaner. How can I take those stains off?
I bought a house with Formica bathroom counters. They have what looks like bleach stains. Has anyone ever tried to dye Formica with clothing dye?
My other option is to bleach more areas and make it look like it is intentional.My children stained my dark gray formica countertop with toothpaste (whitening toothpaste). Is there a way to restore the color or draw out the "bleached" stain?
For starters, thanks for the lesson. I won't make this mistake in my future now! Who knew!?
If I were faced with this, I'd try to find a permanent marker of the same or similar color and try to "stain" it back to the original color. Hairdye might also work. You may have to do "touch-ups" every so often, but it's better than having "loud" white marks all over!!
Good luck!

My almond formica has a lighter ring mark where I set down a gallon of bleach while doing some other cleaning. How do I fix this color difference and make the ring disapear?
