Believe it or not, Oxyclean. That stuff works wonders. RIP Billy Mays.

While I have observed this to be true, I find it surprising. Melamine is also the material from which the backing of IKEA bookshelves is made. Of course one material can be formulated in many different ways, but still ... That was a revelation.

Melamine works great, just be careful. It’s an abrasive and can wreck some surfaces.
