Stains on Formica!!!

Jan 09, 2005 2 Replies

My new home has textured Formica in the bathrooms that shows all the watermarks and is very difficult to clean. I have tried all the baking soda-and cleaner type cures but the stains are just too stubborn.



Question: Is there a product I could coat the Formica with to seal it and make the surface more cleanable? Or should I simply tile over the Formica?



Ideas gratefully received.

Try white vinegar instead.

Clean it thoroughly, then wax it. Any automotive wax should do fine. That'll make it a lot easier to clean in the future.

Also, consider getting a water softener.

Lime away, CLR, or any acid base cleaner for removing hard water stains is worth trying
