Franks Red Hot stained Corian countertop

Last night we just had a quick dinner as my oldest daughter had a choir concert. So we just did Banquet frozen chicken patties. (I know, but it was quick.) Anyway, I threw some Franks Red Hot on mine to give it a little bit of flavor. I spilled a couple of drops on the countertop. I didn't think much about it since we were in a hurry. When Monica cleaned the kitchen this morning, it had stained the Corian. Any ideas as to what to use to take the stain out?
 
I love those things and they STAIN everything.

It will EVENTUALLY come out of the countertop, keep cleaning it and over time it will continually fade and then be gone.
 
What have you tried? My first thought would be a Magic Eraser. Those have worked for me on everything that wasn't baked on.
 
You might try baking soda & vineger Jim . Much safer then some of the chemicals out there . Just mix up a small amount & let it soak a couple of times , last time give it a little scrub with a soft sponge . Works on a lot of stains & surfaces :biggrin: . Bob
 
Soft Scrub might work as that is what is recommended for Corian to clean and remove stains. I'm looking at some Corian myself right now for my kitchen remodel and was advised by Lowe's it is the best stuff to clean it with when I asked.
 
Just pour Franks over the whole countertop and get it to match. Then you can get some more wings and some blue cheese dip and go crazy! :thumb:
 
When all else fails, I use hand cleaner. Fast Orange or GoJo seems to work on anything. Obviously, use at your own risk. I wouldn't want to mess up your counter...
 
It is just about impossible to damage Corian beyond the point of repair. For a stain like that Comet or any abrasive type of cleaner will work. Stay away from acids. I use white rubbing compound to get stains out on the counter top. Knife marks are a lot tougher, they require sand paper and a final polishing. The worse are hot pots. Then it must be cut out and a new piece glued in. This is a good reason to save every scrap of Corian that is left over. If you have an original piece, they can repair it using that scrap and you will never find the repair. A lot depends on the type of finish it was installed with. I chose not to have a high gloss finish, since it shows scratches more, and requires a routine professional polishing to keep it looking good. If you do nothing, the stain will disappear with normal wiping with a damp cloth in a few weeks. Best man made kitchen counter top made, but today, Corian cost as much as granite, so it is loosing market share.
 
Ajax or comet cleanser and hot washcloth will take it out. You can't really hurt corian unless you hit it with a hammer.
 
Another option that is less abrasive is Bar Keepers Friend. I use it on stainless steel, glass, ceramic stove tops, sinks etc. I make a paste with a bit of water, rub it in and wipe it off with a damp rag then dry. Works well on a lot of surfaces and now pretty much available every where.
