it can contain acids which can damage the top... got pics of yours? if its just a stain (or just stuck on badly), you can get it out, but if it has done any real damage to the top then it could be bad news.
here is some reading that just might help:

they suggest to use a wash as usual after soaking, but if it still doesnt come off i use a brush.

soak it with warm water till it loosens up and then you should be able to remove it fairly easily.

Doesn't QD with a microfiber towel usually do the trick for really stubborn stains that persist even after a good power wash?

The texture in the top will often require a brush to get in all the low spots of the vinyl fabric.
