I have an ivory Corian sink with a brass faucet. I need to replace the faucet, but there is now a greenish stain around the old faucet base. I am not sure if it is cleaner buildup or calcium or?
Most new faucet bases are smaller and I need to remove stain. I have tried Bartender's Friend and Scotch Brite pads, but no luck.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Try a Magic Eraser. The knockoffs will work, too.
There is also a product that is called CLR it removes hard water stains ,lime deposits,rust and mildew!
Try little bleach on a toothbrush and gently brush it off
I have found that WD40 works great on stains like this. You can also use it in your toilet bowl to remove the ring stains there. Just spray some WD40 on the area and allow it to sit for several hours.
Thanks for all the suggestions; unfortunately, none of them worked. I resolved the problem (totally removed the stains) by sanding out the stains using an orbital sander and 150 grit sandpaper, finishing with 220 grit.

I washed my brushes in a bowl then tipped it down a Corian sink, not knowing it was a Corian sink. It was a black gloss I was cleaning and now an unsightly grey mark has collected on the sink.

When I had Corian counter tops and sink, I used soft scrub. For dark stains a cleaner with oxalic acid is recommended. For lighter stains use ammonia.

They make repair kits for this, that counter shops carry, as well as Lowe's. If it isn't too deep, you can fix it yourself.

I just bought a home only to discover there is a large red stain caused by melted wax on the white bathroom counter top. The wax is gone, but the stain is not. Please help.

A can of paint remover was accidentally spilled on my kitchen counter and wasn't noticed for a while so it really set in. It looks like giant rust stains. It also caused some cracks in the Corian. We tried everything to at least get the staining out, but so far nothing has worked. Help!

Corian is a beautiful sink and countertop material but it can become stained by coffee and other substances. This is a page about removing coffee stains on a Corian sink.
