I had a blue stain on my white laminate vanity.
picked up some bleach based bathroom cleaning liquid, for a few things.
Thought I would give it a try on the stain on the counter.
I left it for a few hours.
It took the blue stain right off.
However left a much larger yellow one.
Obviously I won't make that mistake again.
However now I am left with the problem of the yellow stain.
So far I have been removing it with repeated application of vinegar and baking soda.
It is working, but very slowly (as in I expect to be doing this for many days).
I have read that Silver Jewlery Cleaner works to solve it, does anyone have any experience with using this?
My other option I have been considering is wet-and-dry sand paper.
I have some very fine stuff, but even so I'm not to happy with the idea.

So the bleach yellowed the counter. Bleach is an oxidixer, so you'll need a reducing agent to reverse its effect. Dithionite is a good choice, and is sold in stores as "Iron out" or "Super Iron Out". Lacking that, anything that smells vaguely like sulfur, or ammonia-like even is worth a try. Ordinary surfactant based cleaning agents aren't likely to help you here.
