Cleaning emergency

[Sleeplessem]

Posting for traffic and liberal use of the word emergency here but DH put DD colouring book on our wet kitchen table and it’s left a huge stain and I can’t get it out. The kitchen table is white plastic from harveys. I’ll upload a picture. Anyone know how to get stains out of the table or do I have to toss it and DH in the bin?

Bar Keepers friend - will get the colour out - it is an amazing product- use on it sides and sink in times like these!

Amazon or Lakeland - it is the white and blue packaging one we have - you make a sort of paste and it works wonders -

Vinegar? or a bar of soap

I've only just caught up with this.
I'd go with covering the table for now, @Sleeplessem,
Out of sight, out of mind.... if there same goes for your 'D'H, I am quite good at digging!

I agree with previous posters that sunlight is the best option.

Oh no, I hope it works out differently for you but I think the table might be for the bin...or more optimistically "upcycling". I've never managed to get the colouring book stain off my countertop. I have no idea what is in them, but they are evil.

Oh no definitely not bleach

Elbow grease will remove the pink but not the yellow bleach stain

We’ve got this bloody film on our kitchen window to stop people on the street being able to look in and it makes the kitchen perpetually dark, so even sunlight it bloody limited, looks like a cave 75% of the tome Guess who was insistent on that (spoiler alert DH)

I think, the stain is gradually fading either that or my brain is no longer processing the death of my overpriced and now ruined kitchen table.

We’re never eating at the dinning table though, i can’t take anymore heartbreak

Yeah bleach fucked it lol, the yellow looks like it faded now although I could be going blind from all the chemicals 😅

Coke will get it out .. or Swarfega

I definitely second hairspray as someone else said previously.

Thin bleach. Anything that gets rid of turmeric off my white countertops sorts out anything!

Id use white spirits

Biological washing detergent? It removes bright hair dye and I can’t imagine it would cause any more damage, when it’s safe on clothes.
But it has to be biological, not non-bio. Some complicated explanation about enzymes that I’m too stupid to remember……

Toothpaste took a much worse sharpies stain work of art off my table.

A rest so you don’t add chemical on chemical. Then a table cloth.

Magic sponge

Take the foil off your windows now before it dries out. Once it's hard and dessicated you're totally fucked. You'll end up having to replace the glass.

What is the table made of? Can you sand it back and re paint it.

I have an 80s laminate white work top. Cif. Don’t rub just leave it in a big pile. If not cif, then bleach will work - soak a white paper towel and make bleach papier-mâché and leave until it dries. This also kills all moulds. Go unscented. I’d try cif first as it’s more food safe.

Don’t use acetone - acetone gets absorbed into plastics to make brittle plastic that can come away in little beads.

Maybe try a "George's marvellous medicine" on it? Mix your white spirit with your nail polish remover and your bicarb?

• don't do this

Table cloth op

Ok just saw this. You now want to see if after a really good wash with lots of water if vanish Oxy powder or hydrogen peroxide will do anything to the yellow.

Not sure if the yellow is the discoloured colouring book, bromide leaching, or something else…

Again, use kitchen roll to make the papier-mache stain sized only.

You’ll get there!

Use elbow grease just spray it on and leave for 5 minutes then wipe down

Huh? The film has been on the Windows for over a year now. You can take it off I think but it’s leaves a shitty residue. I can’t be scrubbing at anymore surfaces 😂

Don’t use white spirit - if your table is polycarbonate like acetone the benzene could interact with it…
