Help - Tinsel stained my kitchen cabinets.

Hello Everyone,

I bought tinsel to wrap around my kitchen cabinet handels and it looked festive until it stained.

I need to get the stain out because the property is rented and i really dont wanna get fined.

The cabinets are white vinyl. I have already tried flash and nail posh. Anybody got any other ideas?

Thanks guys. :)

    A lot of stuff that stains white vinyl-type things actually bleaches out with the sun.

    I have white composite worktops, white matt kitchen units and a white table top. I don't even worry about stains anymore. My kids actually painted my table bright pink once and I thought it was ruined when there was pink left on the table even after the paint had been removed; until it literally disappeared without me doing anything at all. Same happens with my worktops now - curry stains bleach out, red wine, everything :o

    Give it a couple of weeks before starting to worry or making things worse.

    Try "magic eraser sponges". £1 from the pound shops or branded ones about £3 elsewhere.
