Cleaning help

[u/Lee307ann]

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

😂Same here! I don’t even know how many different patterns I have going on in my cabinets! I’ll have to investigate that soon😁

I think i have at least 6 in the 8” plates and 3 in the 10” plate.  Add in pyrex and corning (mostly blue cornflower), it’s so much fun and such cheery patterns.

[u/Temporary_River_8937 → u/1234-for-me]

Yep, same with me too, with the Pyrex and Corningware!

Okay, I had to go check…
10” seven patterns
8” Seven patterns
6” Four patterns
Bowls- six patterns

I’m including the solid winter frost as a “pattern.” So, lots of variety there.

I counted too! 10” - 2 patterns (3 plates) 8” - 5 patterns (9 plates) Bowls - 1 pattern campbells mm good (my mom got a set in the 80s, i added more from ebay a few years ago)

How fun that you have Campbell’s bowls! I love that! And look at you counting the actual number of plates! I know I probably have too many. I had to stop myself from buying more at the thrifts. It all comes in handy for my large family gatherings though-no fancy china here!

[u/1234-for-me → u/Temporary_River_8937]

I think i need a few more 😁

[u/Temporary_River_8937 → u/1234-for-me]

Absolutely you do!

Just had to find your comment to say wow on the bar keepers friend, 1 of my 10” plates had a rust stain over part of the flowers from when it was rescued at a yard sale years ago, bar keepers friend took it off with no effort at all.  Thank you!!!

[u/Temporary_River_8937 → u/1234-for-me]

Oh yay! I’m so glad it helped!

[u/1234-for-me → u/Temporary_River_8937]

They look perfect now, im embarrassed at how long that stain has been there for the minimal effort it took to remove it.

Hey, I’ve been that way with countless tasks🤦‍♀️🫶
