Believe it or not, Oxyclean. That stuff works wonders. RIP Billy Mays.

Those magic erasers turned out to be pretty effective, too.

If people wanna save money they can use Melamine sponges! Exact same thing, give or take a few small proprietary cleaning agents or scents. But effectively the same

While I have observed this to be true, I find it surprising. Melamine is also the material from which the backing of IKEA bookshelves is made. Of course one material can be formulated in many different ways, but still ... That was a revelation.

The reason they work so well is because they're basically sandpaper. You are removing your countertop finish when you use them.
