My kitchen counters/sink are Corian....never had any issues with it easy to clean...always looks great. Recently I have been on an indian cooking, curry, dal, tandoori kick...my sinks are bright yellow from all the spices...yikes....how do I get this out...tryed the soft scrub with bleach ...no difference...afraid filling the sinks with plain ole bleach will lead to even more yellow...if I remember correctly

Oh, hmm. We just had Corian put in last year, and maybe I didn't listen well enough to the care precautions. When the bottom of my Corian sink gets too tough for the scrub, I fill it about an inch deep with lukewarm water, and just a touch of bleach. I watch carefully as the white spreads (just fascinates me...simple mind easily entertained I guess) and just as soon as it has worked, I drain and rinse. No yellowing. Dumb luck?
I didn't realize/remember/know they would yellow with bleach? Only my sinks are white, my counters are dark colored. Maybe I'd better go find the brochure and read it...or I'm sure they have a website...

Michelle - I don't think it says anything in the Corian care thingy about bleach...i just got that idea cuz I have used bleach on a swab to cleam the calking around the bathroom sinks and tub and it has looked awesome at first and then yellowed. i think my mom may habve told me to watch out for bleach yellowing things too. I'm going for it if it worked for you!

I use Clorax spray cleaner on my Corian and it always works great. I wonder if biz would work in a sinkful of warm water, works great on vintage linens.
Hugs, Kathy |

Ta Da...and clorox spray cleaner is the winner! Spray, wait 5 minutes, spray again and scub with the scrungy thingy...good as new! Thanks for all the advice ladies!

Whew! Here I am wondering if it is just going to up and go yellow on me. Yep, not a big fan of bleach, but I do resort to it for some things. Kind of keep it in reserve, as a last resort. I'll remember that about the caulk.
