Thanks, John, for that tip. Sounds like anyone with a parakeet should take care as well. Parakeets are very sensitive to fumes. We have one – a periwinkle parakeet – and we are very careful.

Hi everyone,

I recently bought Countertop Magic at local hardware store. It works well but I would strongly suggest only using it when you can have windows open. I only did a small counter to see how it worked and I thought I was going to pass out!! Its smell is VERY STRONG and I had to leave the house for several hours while the smell lessened. I will save the rest of the counters till spring when I can have all the windows open and a fan pulling the smell outdoors. Keep up the great work

Oh my gosh, I can’t thank you enough for all you do for us Pam! I was continuing to look around your site and thought to look for how to clean up my laminate countertops. Ours is white with gold ribbons/specks? My favorite juice is grape and my favorite fruit is strawberries. Ugh, that has been a nightmare on my counters. I’m so excited. I have to pick up countertop magic, liquid turtlewax and fine auto body compound tomorrow, oh and check out the local restore (cross your fingers)! Phew, the list keeps growing but I keep smiling!

I wanna be just like Pam when I grow up!

Wow, Pam…you’re quick! I was the person who wrote just yesterday to ask you about a good way to shine them up!

Thanks….I may even have to stop at Lowe’s on my way home tonight to pick up some of this stuff.

Heidi, Sounds like it does and at $5 it’s worth a try: Here’s what it says on the Lowe’s website:

“Spray on & wipe away stains, food and grease
Restores original luster to dull, lifeless countertops”

Can Countertop Magic be used for everyday wiping down or just for reviving old laminate and getting out tough stains?

Thanks.

Thank you.

This is so funny, just last night as I was washing my countertops down, disgusted because coffee drips leave black/gray stains only removed by bleach, I was wondering what could help. Then I thought to this site and I had fully intended to come here today and search or send off a query.

No need, the answer was awaiting me! =)

Love this site!
