Counter tops can become very stained and worn over the years. It can seem like no matter how much you clean them; they still look dirty. This is a common problem across the world. 
This happens over time as little pieces of life get stuck down in the scars of the counter top. You can remove the stains, but it will take a little bit of elbow grease for it to work.
Counter tops that are just a little worn will not take as much time to complete, but you will still get a nice glow back to the finished product. You will only need a few ingredients. You will want to start with a powerful cleaner that comes in powder form such as comet. Take a small amount of the powder (about a ΒΌ cup) and add a little bit of baking soda to it. Mix these two ingredients together in a bowl. Once you have mixed well, you will want to add enough warm water to make a pretty thick paste. Do not add too much water. You want to put the paste directly on the stains on your counter.
Once you have place the mixture on the stain, you will need to let it set for about thirty minutes. This will ensure that the mixture can penetrate down into the stain. On difficult stains you will want to use a soft bristle scrub brush. Use warm water to wash the mixture off the counter. You should have a better looking counter after you have finished. If your counters are badly stained, you may need to repeat the treatment a few times before you see a big difference.
