Things like you are experiencing make me crazy and contribute to why I hate most chemical cleaning products. I know they are important to disinfect...but still...

Corian is one of the better companies with good customer service so I suggest trying to contact them, especially if your counter is still under warrantee (they have generous warranties). Their info is:

This is a PDF from their site that talks about how to dilute bleach when cleaning for the future:

Good luck! Let us know what they say!

I know that CLR is recommended for cleaning (not everyday) Corian countertops but it is possible you let it dry and maybe did not rinse it well enough as this is a crucial step - counter must be rinsed several times after using any cleaner.

• From their website:
• "If there are hard water marks, use a cleaner that is formulated for removing hard water such as CLR. Be sure to rinse well and dry the surface completely after cleaning."

• I like to use Soft Scrub but here is note from their website:
• "Cleaning Corian sinks -- You can also use Soft Scrub and a green Scotch Brite pad to remove residue. NOTE: Do NOT use Soft Scrub on the countertop surface for everyday cleaning."
• I would try using a little soapy water first and then rinse really well, dry and see if that takes away the dull white surface.
• Here are a couple of links that I have used and the information is good.
