Introduction

Do you have silverware scratches on your dishware? Do you wish your dishes looked as good as new? A dinner plate with scratches may seem old or unattractive. Renew the appearance of your dishes with this easy technique.

  1. Zmk26vwmUjQsRLRO
    • Obtain a product called "Bar Keeper's Friend".

    • This product can be found at most grocery stores in the cleaning aisle. (It is available at Walmart)

  2. WfFrAS2w15G5Mdrn
    • Go to a sink so that you have access to running water.

    • Rinse off your dish so that the plate is moist.

    • Shake some of the "Bar Cleaner's Friend" powder onto the back of the plate to make sure that it does not damage the coloring.

    • Wet the sponge and wipe the plate to see if the product is damaging to your plate.

    • If it is, then stop usage immediately and rinse your plate to reduce damage.

    • If the product is not damaging, then continue use on the top of the plate.

    • Do not consume "Bar Cleaner's Friend" directly.

    • Once you have flipped the plate over and sprinkled the plate with an thin and even layer of "Bar Keeper's Friend", scrub the plate with a sponge until the scratches are less visible.

    • Once you have wiped the plate to your satisfaction (until most or all of the scratches have disappeared), squeeze out your sponge and rinse your plate and hands.

I can’t get Bartender’s friend, but it inspired me to try a ceramic stove top cleaner. It worked like a charm. I was going to throw those dishes away. I have had them for 25 years. Now they will last at least another 15…
