We all know how frustrating it can be to spend a considerable amount of time and money on renovations, only for a small accident to occur shortly after.

One Queensland mum discovered this first-hand when her brand new kitchen counters, which she had just spent an 'arm and a leg' on, were supposedly stained yellow by her teenage daughter.

Interestingly, though, when she shared photos of the alleged mark, people were left scratching their heads, with many claiming they couldn't see the stain at all. Let's explore this great kitchen mystery further, shall we?

Alexandra, the mum in question, had recently renovated her kitchen for the first time in 19 years. Understandably, she was quite protective of her fresh new investment, which included beautiful white satin cutlery drawers.

However, she was left feeling a mixture of anger and annoyance when her 16-year-old daughter accidentally stained those very drawers with carrots after grating the vegetable while cooking dinner for the family. Or so she thought.

The mum shared her outrage on social media and asked for advice on removing the yellow stain from her precious new cupboards, only to receive a wave of confusion in return.

'Is this woman taking the p***?' a perplexed commenter asked after viewing the photos of the supposedly 'ruined' kitchen.

While Alexandra reiterated the story of her daughter's mishap—grating the carrots and unwittingly leaving handprints on their white satin drawer—much of the online community remained mystified.

'Where is the stain? Am I blind?' questioned one individual.

'I've literally got perfect vision and can't see any stain,' added another.

Despite being invisible to many, a handful of sympathisers offered suggestions for removing the stubborn remnant from the pristine white surface.

'It will fade,' one mum reassured her. 'My kids have spilt red cordials, and it sits for a while, but then after a few regular cleans, it just ends up fading away.'

Another helpful soul suggested using kitchen spray (like Ajax) and allowing it to sit for 10 minutes before wiping it off. They claimed this method had succeeded for them with carrots and capsicums.

'When my 2pac kitchen went in, the kitchen company told me to use car polish because it retains the sheen,' divulged a fellow kitchen renovator.

But gumption would likely take the finish off the surface of the cupboard because it is abrasive. Those white magic sponges might do the trick.

Oh yeah I use those there great
