How to Get a Rust Stain Off of a Corian Countertop

DuPont manufactures and constructs Corian countertops from an acrylic copolymer that is tinted and texturized in several combinations to match your kitchen's theme. The countertops and sinks are non-porous, durable and cost far less than their marble or travertine competition. Cleaning the countertops before removing stains, including rust, makes the job less of a hassle and leaves you with a shiny, dirt and bacteria-free surface.
