My counter tops smell. I'm 15 and I asked my parents how to get rid of it and they couldn't smell it! But I can. If you bend down and sniff the counter tops the stench is right there and its only in one area. Mainly were we keep the flowers. I think it might be a left over smell from the flowers but no matter what I use to clean the counters it never goes away. Help please!

Have your parents get a bottle of CLOROX DISINFECTING KITCHEN CLEANER.
It doesn't smell like the bleach, but has a nice fresh scent to it. I use it on my counter tops daily.
Try using a lemon, cut in half and rubbed in the spot.
Is it something you can smell if you are just standing in the kitchen or only if you put your nose to the countertop? I guess I wouldn't worry about it if it's not too strong. I mean if you only smell when putting your nose right on top of it.
First I would like to say you go girl you are 15 and care about the smell of a counter. I second the baking soda idea. Let it sit on it if that does not work try a little water and make a paste let sit for a little while.
Pour white vinegar on the area that smells then sprinkle some baking soda over that.....let sit for about 1/2 hr to 1 hour and the smell should be gone
Dont use vinegar and baking soda togetherthey can be destructive to the countertop when used together. I would use the baking soda alone, make a paste, gently spread it and let it sit a while.
I second the motion with the vinegar and if that doesn't work try the lemon. I love to smell lemons anyway.
YOU are a smart girl and I am sure your parents are extremely proud of you.
Be careful adding vinegar to baking soda, because it bubbles and pops as gas is released. It also etches the countertop in a couple of ways, chemically (vinegar is acidic, so will dissolve some of the surface material) and mechanically with those popping bubbles.
