Laminate Countertop: Fixes

My laminate counter tops are a dark gray/black. Sometimes they get scratched by my cooking, cleaning, or just plain clumsiness.

To remove stains:

1. Use distilled vinegar, rubbing alcohol or bleach. (I will probably use rubbing alcohol, as bleach scares me.)

To treat minor scratches:
1. Polish the counter with lemon oil or car wax.

Tonight, I'll try the lemon oil and post the before and afters.
