Great tips Steve! Thank you! 👍
Your Welcome. We know scratch marks are a little thing, but thought it might come in handy for some of you.
Great tips, thank you👍🏻 About the turtle wax products, I'm concerned about toxic residue, like silicone or Teflon... I would go with the bar keepers friends in powder, not spray bottle (probably more aggressive) to clean quicker than the spray, a little extra rub is better than getting sick....
A couple things:
1. These aren't scratch marks; they are etchings. The metal from your silverware is comparatively softer than the material your dishes are made from, and it leaves deposits. These deposits oxidize on your dishes. The most effective and efficient way to remove these etchings is chemically, not physically. This means using a solution comprised of a strong enough acid to dissolve the metal (break the oxidized bond) and reoxidize the metal within the solution. For your average home cook, the chemicals required to do this are dangerous and impossible to come by.
2. Physically removing these etchings through use of abrasives can absolutely damage your dishes unless you know the abrasives you're using are harder then the steel you're attempting to remove, but softer than the materials your dishes are made of.
3. Rubbing compound leaves residue that does NOT simply wipe away. It needs to be removed with a specialized solution used for dissolving the oils in the compound. At the very least you should use isopropyl alcohol in a 15% solution. Following this step, you need to wash your dish with soap and water.
Thanks for the input about the deposits and using acid to eliminate it. Won't the acid also damage the finish?
Hello from England. Good tips as ever.
Thanks for the kind words!
Wizards metal polish was our winner! It didn't take the enamel off, no scrubbing involved.
No toxic residue unless you lick them before washing.
Was that the cream or the polishing cloth?
I cleaned our dishes with Bar Keepers Friend and after using the plates several times a lot of scratches were back. I'm wondering if by the time these marks show....the whatever glaze is on the plates is worn, allowing easy scratch damage. I've never purchased new plates (too expensive), so always been plagued by used beat-up looking dishware.
Thank you! I have white plates I will be using the rubbing compound on!
Did they start a new channel? Last video 8 months ago
I'm wondering if the more abrasive cleaners will ruin the finish and therefor contribute to more staining.
I suppose it could, but you would have to wear through the glazed finish. In our instance, I think the plates I cleaned had a "toothy" finish and were prone to scratch marks.
Nice tip, but a bit concerned about the rubbing compound removing the glaze from my plates and bowls.
It's probably okay if you use it once a year or every 2 years (it doesn't remove instantly clear coat from cars), I'm more concern about toxic residue, like silicone or Teflon... I would go with the bar keepers friends in powder, not spray bottle, probably more aggressive to clean quicker than the spray.
Your newest video, on saving on holiday food, is set to made for kids, so we can't comment on it. I really enjoyed the holiday video and love your channel ❤
Thanks for letting us know, it's been fixed.
I subbed to you earlier today because I found your carpet cleaning videos from years ago. Now I’m working my way through your whole channel ☺️💗
Thanks for the encouraging comment!
So I wanted to comment on your blog post, but couldn't. You mentioned that you had black ceramic plates, but didn't ever mention it again in the blog post. I'm specifically looking for how to get scratches off of black ceramic plates, not white.
Keep posting videos! Thanks!
Any tips for taking smells out of old books?
Great tips, I would have never thought to use rubbing compound.
Steve- I'm concerned about toxic residue that can be left behind by the rubbing compound since it is being used on a "food surface". Have you researched if it is safe to use on dishes? Love the demo!
It is really difficult to remove scuffs from inside cups.
Does this work on bone china?
Great 👍😍😍👍
Hey Tried the Turtle wax compound and it didn’t work. Was wondering if I could send you the plates and attempt to get the scratch marks out
Send it to me and I'll send you a brand new set of plates. Also, if you could send your bank account info, I'll transfer you $1000.
