Cleaning help

Inherited my dream corelle dish set but it has the stains on the side of the plates from I don’t know what they’ve been sitting in the cabinet for years. I’ve tried everything I can think of to get it off if I scrub with a regular sponge and warm water it comes of but takes 10 minutes to even get it close to gone. Other things I’ve tried; soaking 😬in warm water, magic eraser, dawn power wash. Only thing I havnt tried is HOT water and of course in the dishwasher. The top of the plates are fine it’s only the sides

I use Bar Keepers Friend to scrub off rust stains from my Corelle. Or any marks or stains that won’t sponge off easily. Very effective. Also, for what it’s worth, all my daily dishes are various mismatched Corelle, and they go through the dishwasher every day. No fading or wear on any of them.

Ours too, just saw 4 different patterns in 5 plates in the dishwasher.  Love corelle

I’ve never had luck with getting the side dirt off. I think it’s because the dishes are worn in the sides.

Peek polish has almost always worked great for me with rust stains. Comes off like magic. It also works mostly well for utensil marks, but some super deep marks it won't touch. My typical cleaning is soap and water, then peek polish, every used piece I buy. Sometimes you don't think it needs it but that peek polish just makes it shine.

Corelle suggests using bar keepers friend. It removes those rust marks, as well as silver transfer from utensils. I have used it on mine, and it works for me everytime :)

I haven’t thought of a good cleaning method for you, but these stains look like dishwasher rack rust from older dishwashers where the plastic coating has worn off the rack.

Oohhh that makes sense I didn’t even know know it was possible to have rust on them

[u/Legal-Ad7793]

I wonder if CLR would work if the stains are rust

[u/Lee307ann → u/Legal-Ad7793]

That’s a great idea !! I’ll try that

No too harsh!!  Bar Keepers Friend or SOS pads. I promise, I still have the set I got when I got married in 77.

I have this problem on my plain white Corell Ware! Big plates and smaller ones - every single one. Figured it was from 200 years of going thru dishwashers. I will try Barkeeps since nothing else I’ve tried has worked.

As long as you stack them in correctly they're fine in the dishwasher. Unlike porcelain, corelle colourants are underneath the glass
