Author Suggestions for stain removal on formica top dining table

I was given a large white formica /chrome dining room table plus
matching vinyl/chrome chairs.

Nice looking but it does have noticeable deep dark stains on top of
table plus hubby sat a heavy large cast iron dutch oven on top of table
that resulted in a dark stain.

I have tried other suggestions such as rubbing bottle lemon juice and
409 but no luck.

I was also told to try a product call Clear-Gloss but can't locate this
in any stores and don't want to spend a lot of $$$$ on products through
hear say.

Can any one suggest a product that has been tried & proven to be rid of
these stains and give the table top a new glossy look?

TIA-Also the vinyl on chairs need a good cleaning.

I've never owned a table with a formica top, but over the years I have had
several formica kitchen counters with serious stains. I have always
removed them by covering the stained areas with bleach-soaked paper towels,
checking frequently until stain is gone. Follow with a good wash and
rinse. You can buy a polish for laminates like formica that help reduce
future staining.

You might try a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on the vinyl chairs. I was amazed
at how well those clean.
