Coffee Stains on White Corian Sink?

I have tried bleach, vinegar and ammonia as well as scrubbed the sink with the pads they provided on installation on a corian sink that has coffee stains. Nothing worked that the Corian company suggested on their web-site. I went to Lowes. The guy there said "yes, that is a problem with Corian". He had no ideas but wanted me to let him know if I found anything that did work.

I went back home and found some "IRON OUT" left over from a problem we had with our water filter this past summer. I sprinkled some on--let it set for 30 seconds and washed it off with warm water and a sponge. TOTALLY GONE. I am amazed that the Corian people don't know this!

When you do remove the stain you can apply gel gloss (lowes pink bottle) and it will prevent the stains in the future. Must reapply monthly or so to keep the protection.

I recently got a Corian double sink & counter-top, the sink is white. Wow, was I disappointed at the staining. I am not a fan of using bleach, but Softscrub with bleach did remove the staining. I tried my usual "safe' treatments first, ie. Mr Clean white block scrubber, baking soda, peroxide, & Dollar Tree brand oxi-clean, which always worked on my porcelain sink. All were a bust :( I did use BarKeepers Friend this morning & it did a good job too, but contains oxalic acid which I am sure is not environmentally or human friendly.

I found that Soft Scrub works well. I usually cover stained area wit it and let it sit a bit....like 15 minutes will do it.

 

I always use Softsoap with Bleach. Squirt it on, scrub it around with a scrubber and let it SIT. When it dries, wet it a little and let it sit until the stain is gone. Works for me everytime!!!

I did this, not only did the stain NOT come out, it totally ruined my brand new sink. Do not do this.

I really love the look of my new Corian sink and counter top, but I have been concerned about the stains. A bit of Comet has helped but I will try some of the other suggestions.
