A New Year Refresh: How to Remove Those Stubborn Silverware Marks from Your Dishes
This is a subtitle for your new post
As we roll into January and swap out our holiday dishes for our everyday favorites, it’s the perfect time for a little kitchen refresh. And if you've ever noticed those pesky gray cut marks on your plates from silverware, you know they can be a bit of an eyesore. The good news is, I’ve got a simple solution!
It can happen to any of the colored plates. It happens when people use a knife and cut food on the plate. in this post, I'm sharing exactly how I tackled those marks using a cleaning paste called "The Pink Stuff" (which you can find on Amazon) or even Bar Keepers Friend.
I did a little demonstration where I treated half of the plate first, took some photos to show the difference, and then did the entire plate.

A few quick tips: you can cut your sponge in half for easier handling, and make sure the sponge is just damp, not soaking wet, for a better buffing action. We even tried the popular Scrub Daddy and found that a simple Scotch-Brite worked just as well. My daughter and I worked together to rub the dishes with some pressure, and in about 20 minutes, our set of white Fiestaware was looking as good as new.
Once they were all clean, I popped them in the dishwasher to sanitize them.
So, as you refresh your home for the new year, give this little dish makeover a try. It’s a small step that makes your everyday dishes feel fresh and bright again!
