I have removed red wine from leathered granite by using vinegar and leaving a cloth covering it overnight.

The leathered granite is more absorbent than polished granite or quartz because it's more in 'raw' form. So, if it works for that, perhaps it will work for whatever surface your vanity tops are.

I don't know if it works but WD-40 has many tricks up its sleeve. Others I know swear by CLR.

Sodium Hypochlorite works for the rust stains. Not too sure on the oil sticks

Oh God I thought you were talking about something else LOL! I was going to say if you figure it out please call me!

I googled that a couple of years ago and it said make a paste of baking soda and hydrogen perixide and let it sit on the stain. I saw very little difference on my burn stain but maybe you will have success.

Pinterest is full of these hacks. I would try straight lemon juice on those stains. Just pour on & come back later. Works on stains on old counter tops.

One of my landlords ground out cigarette burns on one & it looked ok.

A product called "Iron Out" made by www.summitbrands.com available at home improvement stores like Lowes has worked miraculously for me to remove rust stains without damaging the surface.  I have also used old fashioned "Comet" and a hearty scrubbin' with good results.  Neither have damaged the surface being treated.

I like Debe Maxwell, CRS's idea of the vinegar.  I'd also suggest a local granite/solid surface installer.  Sometimes the local Home Depot guy knows his stuff too or maybe a cleaning service.  Without knowing the material in question the only other idea is to google "natural remedy to remove rust stain from ____."

Looks like Debe Maxwell, CRS gave you a good suggestion.

Let us know what you decide.  Good luck on your new listing. 

I would give Debe Maxwell's version a try...

You have some good suggestions here.  Congratulations on the new listing.  I wish you all the best with it. 

You have a lot of great suggestions, and I would consult a granite/quartz expert as well.

You have some interesting suggestions. Good luck!

Good question.  I don't have a clue.

The answer is looking for you too

Think Debe’s suggestion of vinegar or Lyn’s lemon juice suggestion may be your best bet. Good luck 

You answered you own question.

Get RID OF IT!

Otherwise this could end up as a Richard Weeks posting titled 'What were they thinking?"

This one I have no clue about. Here are some websites about cleaning solid surfces:

Website #1  Website #2

If it's a corian type of solid surface: To remove them, try a scrub powder with oxalic acid, such as Bar Keepers Friend or Zud. If that isn't enough, use bleach in water. In its advice about disinfecting Coriansurfaces, DuPont recommends using a solution of half bleach and half water, so even that strong a solution should be okay for removing stains.

Parked and reading

 Replace them.

Thomas,

Debe Maxwell, CRS has an answer.  And I would consult a granite expert.  A

Great question, a scented oil ring was recently placed on my own counter and needless to say, a not so nice ring

Cover with a nice napkin or better remove. 

I'd try what Debe suggests.

We actually have a vendor who's specialty is removing stains and refurbishing "Stone" be it tile, granite, etc. He was our carpet guy for years but gradually got into the stone cleaning and prep business and now he is the man! Check with your local Realtor in your area and I'm sure one of them is around your neck of the woods. He's done some pretty remarkable clean up with results that are truly stunning. 

No idea.

I think you've got a few good possibilities!!

Lots of great suggestions. Hope one works out for you, Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor, ePRO, CRS, RCS-D

OH MY, new counters all together.

in my experience if lime away won't get it off it's not coming off.

Thomas J. Nelson, Realtor, ePRO, CRS, RCS-D - learning from the answers here, my friend.

For the oil: A tablespoon hairdresser peroxide with teaspoon white flour depending on humidity you may need to add a 1/4 teaspoon water to make a mayonnaise like texture. put over the stain, put plastic sandwich wrap - you know cellophane over the whole blob. Leave 12 hours. wipe off and rinse with water. Allow to fully dry for a day or two. 

Or just put olive oil over all the counter and make the whole thing darker and cover with cellophane to make it soak in

for the rust TSP and a thin paint brush application

Find a contractor.

well, you have enough answers here to keep you very busy for awhile.... why not have the homeowner replace the top....

I can't add anything to what's been said. Have heard vinegar works well and also baking soda and peroxide. Good luck.

Close your eyes, relax and have a Scotch!

Good question but do not have a answer.

Dynamite...

On granite, I have had success making a pumice with lemon juice and baking soda and letting it sit for a few hours under plastic wrap to dry out and draw the offending stain out . (It worked for food coloring).
