    FORMICA IS USUALLY NOT POROUS, THAT MEANS MOST STAINS WILL GENERALLY STAY ON THE SURFACE (ON TOP) TRY PUTTING BAKING SODA ON THE STAIN AND RUB IT GENTLY WITH A WET SPONGE OR SOFT CLOTH. EITHER CUTTING A LEMON AND RUBBING IT ON IT. RINSE WITH WATER. OTHER THAN THAT HEY I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO TELL YOU. TRY CHECKING A WEB SITE ON HOW TO CLEAN OR RESTORE FORMICA. NEURITIC ACID (CAN BE FOUND IN A HARDWARE STORE) MIGHT BE TOO STRONG, I KNOW THAT IS FOR CLEANING MARBLE & BRICK SURFACES.TEST THE NEURATIC ACID ON THE UNDER SIDE HIDDEN EDGES OF COUNTER FIRST TO SEE THE RESULTS IF THAT IS YOUR LAST RESOURCE!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!! LET ME KNOW HOW IT TURNS OUT. E-MAIL AT syw918@verizon.net

    hi, its highly impossible to remove bleach stains, better to put colour there, all the best.

    I did the same with Clorox Clean up– sat the bottle on my new Formica! Oh me…. I’ve decided to get permanent Sharpie and color it– maybe more than one color to match as much as possible.
    good luck to you

    maybe clear the counter off & use the same product on the whole counter to make it a uniform color of yellow.
    another solution although a bit pricey is if the location of the stain allows you to do it, buy a counter mount cutting board,saw a hole the appropriate size & mount the cutting board into the counter (we had to do this once & landlord was pleased)
