How to get rid of stains on the bathroom counter top?

inuyasha_chi asked:


There are stains on my apartment bathroom counter top, and I don’t know how to remove it. I am going to move out soon, and I have tried alot of things to get rid of them. I know that the cause is hair dye. I am thinking of over painting it, but I’m not too sure about that. Is there any way to get rid of the stains with our ruining the paint.

Thank you.

    If the counter top is white, try peroxide.

    If the counter top is already painted, I’d just paint over it.

    more than likely the counter top is not already painted, and is made of some kind of cheap synthetic material. Painting will make it a bigger mistake than just some hair dye.

    If it is painted, sand the top down and re-paint it, just remember even if it is white all white looks different, and you’ll have to sand and paint the whole thing to make it look right.

    Coat the stain with Tide (powder make a paste). Tide works far better than any other detergent I’ve tried.

    Try soaking some cotton balls in white vinegar and setting them on the stain and let it sit.

    Scrub the stain with toothpaste.

    Make a paste out of oxi clean and let it set.
