It is formica installed around 1978. I have tried H2O2, but not mixed
with baking soda. This required no scrubbing at all, apply, and blot or
wipe off. I had pr3eviously left the H2O2 on the stain overnight
without success.

I just discovered something that will remove silver stains within a
minute or two. I have a countertop which is rather badly stained
with silver from over the years. Although hydrogen peroxide can be
used to remove new silver stains, my experience is that once it has
sat a while, it tarnishes becoming silver sulfide. Silver is
happiest with sulfur, so I had been unable to find anything to react
with it a and produce a soluble silver compound. Unfortunately
silver sulfide is 100% insoluble, so once you have the stain, it
seemed to be there forever. I have applied hydrogen peroxide to
these stains in the past for hours at a time.
Just curious what kind of counter top you have? I have ancient formica
and have gotten a lot of silver stains on it over the years, but they
invariably come out with hydrogen peroxide and baking soda (applied
together) and a little scrubbing. Rarely, on old stains, I've had to
let the mixture sit on the stain an hour or more, and once or twice
have had to repeat the treatment, but I've never had it not work.
