Rashad May 28, 2005 Share Rashad Member May 28, 2005 I have a rust stain on a counter-top, and I'd like to remove it. The rust is from a peach can. The counter top is particle board or wood with a layer of synthetic material on top, I don't know exactly what it's made of to be honest with you. So if anyone can tell me how to clean that rust off that would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless May 28, 2005 Share Clueless GC Alumni May 28, 2005 Sounds like a standard plastic laminate top, I would try to use something like CLR, but try it in a spot where its not noticable first, to make sure it wont hurt the top, but i think it will be fine. Avoid abrasive pads at first, let the chemical try, but if nothing works, you could scrub it with a mild abrasive pad, but it will scratch it, so you have to ask yourself, whats worse, a little scratching, or a rust spot. Hope this helps man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayfarer May 28, 2005 Share wayfarer Member May 28, 2005 WAIT!!! Becarful what you do Rashad! I sell HPL for a living & some chemicals can seriously damage your top. Try reading this I'm not sure if that link works, if not gohere and click on Tech brief;avoiding laminate damage. That will tell you what NOT to do! I did not read the whole thing myself, so if you did not get the info you need to get the rust off, let me know & I'll either get the info for you or direct you to another link! Hope I'm not too late! P.K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashad May 30, 2005 Author Share Rashad Member May 30, 2005 I havn't used any chemicals on the counter-top yet, It may just go away by itself. There really isn't much there, just a lil bit in the shape of the rim of the peach can... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
