There are toothpaste stains on the bathroom countertops of the house we are renovating. I think they have been there 3 years. They are white and look ugly! The countertop is mauve and they show up very well. They are not marble. Help! Or do I have to replace them?

I did not think toothpaste stained. It only forms as a material on the countertop that should be able to be cleaned off with an abrasive type sponge, etc. Sounds to me that someone spilled bleach on them which, unfortunately, has removed the color of the countertop. You may have to replace them.

I didn't think toothpaste made stains. Its probably bleach or hair dye. It could be cigarette burns that the people scrubbed with brillo pads and it scrubbed away the burns and left white marks. I saw something like this in an apartment I rented 5yrs ago.

I don't think toothpaste stains does it? I would say if it was bleach then there is no chance. Find out from Home Depot if they have the right color and a lot of people just recolor their coutntertops.
