How do you remove cigarette burns off of a bathroom countertop?

Q. It is a standard bathroom countertop with cigarette burns on it and the management company wont change it. It looks horrible.

A. change the whole counter top not as expensive as you think for the bath rooms in an apartment

What other materials can I use as a bathroom countertop besides the expensive granite?
Q. I am updating my bathroom. Granite countertops are so expensive. I have looked into using a wood slab or glass. Any other cost saving solutions out there?

A. Formica is relatively inexpensive. Swanstone or Corian would be somewhere between granite and Formica.

Does a cultured marble bathroom countertop fall under the category of "engineered stone?"?
Q. I'm remodeling a bathroom. The contracter specified cultured marble. I see that Consumer Reports gives engineered stone the highest rating for bathroom countertops. So is what I'm getting an engineered stone, or not?

A. David B is 99.9% rt. Cultured marble is a marble dust poured together w/ resins and epoxies to form a solid surface( so you have a 'stone" in it lol), very durable but not an engineered stone as your thinking. GL
