worksurface is badly discoloured with yellow stains when I left mould and mildew remover on and forgot to wipe it off. Will anything remove this yellow bleach mark??

Unfortunately bleach is a permanent stain. Perhaps you could replace the surface or is it the kind of surface that can be relaminated? I know you can do this with some surfaces because my step dad is a laminator and he did it with our bath, but you'd need to find a laminator to do it. Failing that, just invest in something pretty to cover it

Try one of the magic erasers before replacing anything. You may have to use it a couple of times.
just found this on the internet

Toothpaste on stains by eHow Friend
We had some rust and food stains left on a laminate countertop after a baking sheet had been sitting overnight. Vinegar didn't work, alcohol didn't work, cleaners didn't work. A dab of non-gel toothpaste worked in with a fingertip worked.

Dishwasher detergent granules work great for getting stains off laminate countertops. I have also used the gel form and it also worked well. When using the granules, place a little puddle of water over the stain and then sprinkle the granules in the water. Allow it to sit for a minute or so, then wipe with a damp cloth or sponge. You may need to work the granules into the stain with the cloth.

Silver cleaner! Honestly I am totally gobsmacked by this, I left a pan ring on my white kitchen top last night which was bad enough but then I left a manky great yellow bleach stain trying to get it off. I was almost in tears this morning. Then I read on another forum about silver cleaner, I had a tin of Silvo so I tried it. It has totally gone, I feel like I've performed a miracle .

Sorry but this is not a stain that you can remove. It is a place where the color of your counter top has been removed. Unless you get something to put the color back onto the area, your stuck with the spots.

Try hydrogen peroxide and baking soda.First,wet the stain with the peroxide,then add baking soda to make a paste.Rub it in gently and let it sit for an hour,then rinse.You can also try lemon juice.

Oxalic acid in a poultice. Buy either Barkeeper's Friend or Zud. Apply on stains and dampen.
