Kitchen worktop

[crapmemory]

My OH tried to get something off the worktop with a scouring pad!!!!!! Before I kill him, is there any way I can do something about it?
TIA

[crapmemory]

Sorry.....laminate.

Us OH`s get the blame for everthing. Betcha dunnit yersel.

[NoMercy]

What exactly is he trying to remove?

[crapmemory]

Some gravy that he spilt and left until the next day!

What was in the gravy, Readymix?

[NoMercy]

Ok... try a solution of baking powder with just a touch of water, to make a paste. Leave it on top of the affected area for a couple of hours, but don't rub in, as it can be quite abrasive as it is. Hopefully this will improve things greatly.

^^^^^^^^^ Well said Aggie

[ummmm]

It's gravy For Funks Sake....just use hot water and elbow grease you lazy people...!!!

[snags]

I could get that off with my tongue in 20 seconds...

[ummmm]

Classy :-)

[crapmemory]

Thanks for the SENSIBLE answers. The gravy had been made with all sorts including cornflower. He had spilt it the night before and left it and it had stuck like glue!!! So NO-KNOWLEDGE the name suits you.

I always thought No-Know knew all about Gravy.
crapmemory-is it just the gravy that's the problem or are you needing to repair the laminate surface that has been scoured?

[crapmemory]

Factor30 I might patent the gravy as a new type of glue but the scoured laminate is the problem.

[madmaggot]

You can't repair the damage to the laminate. The only answer is to either replace the whole top or to re-laminate it. But first give your OH a belt round the earhole to remind him not to do it again! Second, give him the bill.

I do quite a bit of joinery ... Send some of that gravy to me, plaese sounds good as an adhesive.
