1. Identify the Stain: Determine the type of stain you are dealing with, such as food, oil, ink, or water marks. Different stains may require different cleaning methods.

3. Apply the Cleaning Solution: Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with the cleaning solution and gently blot the stained area. Avoid scrubbing aggressively, as it may damage the surface.
4. Let it Sit: Allow the cleaning solution to sit on the stain for a few minutes to penetrate and break down the stain.
5. Gently Scrub: After letting the cleaning solution sit, use a soft cloth or sponge to gently scrub the stained area in a circular motion. Continue until the stain starts to lift.
6. Rinse Thoroughly: Once the stain is removed, rinse the countertop with clean water to remove any residue from the cleaning solution.
7. Dry the Surface: Use a dry cloth or towel to dry the countertop thoroughly. Make sure no moisture is left on the surface.
