I love having clear counter tops, because it is a great space for spreading out and working on various things in my home.
Not only do I use them for cooking and preparation tasks, but they are also used by myself and other family members for other household tasks from tinkering on appliances, crafts, and more.
Of course, with all these tasks it is basically inevitable that spots and spills will occur. While some of them are easily wiped up others leave stains behind.
It can be complicated to figure out how to clean up these spills and spots, because the type of countertop, from granite, marble, formica, etc. makes a difference, as well as what caused the stain.
I'd love to hear from you, telling me how you successfully removed these stains. Make sure to tell me what your counter is made of, as well as what caused the spot! You can enter your tip in the form below.
In addition, while this page is dedicated to dealing with stains on your counters, here's an article on how to clean and disinfect your kitchen counters.
We do all kinds of activities on our counters all the time, and as a result they often acquire stains and spots. I'd love for you to share exactly what type of countertop you've got, what stained it, and how you've cleaned this hard surface.
If you like to use a particular type of cleaner, either homemade or purchased, or special cleaning equipment to get the job done well, please tell me about that too.
Finally, pictures aren't required, but are encouraged, especially if it helps show how you do something or the good results you had from using your tips.
