I need stain removal help--big time! [View all]
Idiot that I am, I managed to get silver nitrate in my Formica counter top.
A distraction caused me to drop the item I was testing. As a consequence, the silver nitrate got on the counter top. The Formica is beige and now has several purple stains and it looks terrible. I have a slurry of baking soda/water on it now but I am afraid this will not do the job.
I know better, been using this material for years. I always have newspaper layers under my work but you know how it goes, the one time I didn't......
The solution was from a silver testing kit. Good use instructions but no advice on the data sheets about how to remove a messy stain.
Of course, this happened a week after having a realtor here to discuss the sale of my house. Now I have a eyesore.
Any help would be appreciated. I have Googled but have not been able to find a good answer.
