Corian Stain

20 years ago

Since we have put our home on the market, all sorts of disasters have happened. The latest: I broke a bubble night light, and the orange liquid inside it stained the corian surface of my vanity top. I have no idea what the liquid is, and I have never found something I couldn't remove. I have tried soft scrub with bleach, leaving it on for about 15 minutes, and it didn't help one bit. I am going to try straight bleach next.

Any ideas, or am I going to have to have it sanded out?

I finally got the stain out of the corian. I used Barkeeper's Friend, which is sort of like Comet. It took a lot of rubbing, but it cleaned up well.

Barkeepers Friend is the best! It's the only thing that will get my aged sink looking good. Is your Corian dull now in that spot?
