I spray my laminate countertop stains with clorox clean-up, a bleach cleaner. The stains disappear in seconds!

or you can just use scrubbing bubbles bathroom cleaner. spray on, leave few seconds wipe off. Also the best thing I ever used to get stains off outside of fridge and freezer. Also good for edges of floors, (the dark buildup) spray on wait few seconds mop. rinse well.
