5. Hydrogen Peroxide + Baking Soda Paste
For deeper stains:
- Mix baking soda with hydrogen peroxide into a thick paste
- Apply and let sit for 15–20 minutes
- Scrub gently and rinse
Hydrogen peroxide helps lift and lighten discoloration.
6. Magic Eraser (Use Gently)
Magic Erasers work well on plastic and melamine but act like very fine sandpaper.
- Dampen the eraser
- Lightly scrub the stain
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth
Avoid heavy pressure to prevent dulling the surface.
7. Enzyme Cleaners for Old Urine Stains
Enzyme cleaners break down organic residue and odors.
- Apply per product instructions
- Let sit (this is important)
- Scrub lightly and rinse
These are especially helpful for long-standing urine buildup.
8. Bleach: Use With Caution
Bleach can whiten plastic but may also cause damage or uneven discoloration.
- Dilute bleach (about 1:10)
- Apply briefly (no more than 10 minutes)
- Scrub lightly and rinse thoroughly
Always test in an inconspicuous spot first.
