How to Remove Pledge on Stove and Counters?

Hi, just moved into a cute little condo, however whom ever lived here before, it looks they used Pledge? on the black top of the stove and on the dark laminate counters. There is this white film over everything, and I cannot for the life of me get it off? Does anyone have any ideas? Ive tried everything!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?™

Thanks everyone! No luck yet, i still have yet to try a few of the names on there though.. krud cutters etc... lol, but I am going through the list, and by the way Simple Green is wonderful! for lots of other things, I never knew! other then that I have no idea, and its still driving me crazy!

L.,

I'd try simple green first. It will cut through just about anything. If that doesn't work, I'd try a Mr. Clean magic eraser.

Good luck,
T.

The only thing that works for me on the black stovetop is "cooktop magic" from Home Depot or Lowes. (You probably could find it online, too.) I know there's another product called "countertop magic" from the same makers--it's worth a try!

Try usisng soda water for your stove and white vinegar for your counters if that doesn't work then try this product I have used it and it's wonderful it cleans everything!!

I have used vinegar in the past and it works I also use it when I mop the floor.

You may want to try Krud Kutter! That stuff works miracles.

Before trying the Magic Eraser, which has caused others to get serious chemical reactions and burns, try something called scour off. It is non-toxic and no smells. My company sells it and I actually just used it on cooking oil stains on some of my cooking and baking pans and it came off. I couldn't get it out any other way , but this stuff got it off. It also cleans porcelin white sinks, you know the kind that always gets stained and is hard to get off. SO this scour off stuff is on my website, but I don't think I can post it here, so if you want click on my profile and you should be able to find the site called switchyourstore . Good Luck, oh and if you decide to go with the magic erasers, I would where gloves, definitly.

I have this stuff that works great, it called "bar keepers friend" you can find it in the alsie that has comet in it it is a gold can it works wonders on sinks, counters and glass cook tops give it a try.

I would suggest using some Simple Green because it's a great degreaser. You do have to put in 1 part simple green and then 2 parts water otherwise the concentration is too strong and be sure to wear gloves because it WILL dry your hands out.
But use the simple green and a sponge and I'll bet the stuff comes right off.

Try using a mixture of white vinegar & water. I also use 409 quite a bit & it works good.

you might have to soak the bench then razor it off. otherwise, get some degreaser, that always works. (My friends have a cleaning business & i work for them now and then) Good luck.
