My lovely dinner plates were covered in those annoying black markings that were formed by forks, spoons, and knives scraping on them while we were eating. Due to the fact that they were so unattractive, I was on the verge of purchasing a whole new set of plates.
Please find attached a photograph of my dish, which is scuffed and shabby:
Scratch marks on plates should be cleaned.
I was under the impression that those dark stains would remain on your skin forever until I came across a post on Pinterest that said it was possible to remove them.
Therefore, I went to Walmart and purchased some Barkeeper’s Friend supplies. Since it was less costly than purchasing a new set of dinner plates, I was ready to give it a go regardless of the outcome.
First, I had some of the powder placed on my plate, and then I scrubbed it with a sponge that was damp. What in the world is going on?!?! Take a look at it:
Those so-called “permanent” black scars vanished as quickly as a rabbit flying into a magician’s hat! The news stunned me. That’s right. And it wasn’t even necessary for me to scrub very hard or anything like that!
The appearance of my dishes has been restored! If my husband is going to notice, I can’t wait for him to come home and see what he thinks. Honestly, I don’t see how he could stay like way! Take a look at that really beautiful before-and-after!
Another formulation of Bar Keeper’s Friend is a gentle liquid scrub that, in my opinion, is designed to be used on surfaces that are more fragile. The directions that are printed on the bottle state that the first time you use the product on anything, particularly if it is precious or made of a unique substance, you should test it in a certain location that is concealed from view.
The directions also state that you may use this substance on your tile, stainless steel, and glass cooktops, as well as on your bathtub. I believe that I will be putting it to the test all throughout the home!
The crockpot that I have is going to be cleaned with it. It is also covered with the same black scratch marks that are all over it.
It has also been brought to my attention by readers who have attempted this technique that it has the potential to take away the luster of dishware over time. I had the impression that these plates were doomed to fail, but even if the finish does get dull over time, it has significantly increased the amount of time that my dishes will last, so I will still consider it a success. However, maybe you shouldn’t use it to clean your porcelain sink on a daily basis.
There is no doubt that this is a successful life hack. What a boo!
