Removing silverware marks from dishes?

Ron said:

Okay this isn't exactly about cooking but I don't know where else to ask the question. How do you
remove those black streak marks that silverware leaves on dishes? Obviously not SOS! Nothing seems
to work and I'm starting to think about using paint stripper or something but that's probably not a
good idea. There must be a way to get those black marks off without harming the plates.

Pencil eraser. Choose a quality pencil eraser like Eberhard Faber "Pink Pearl". First test for
abrasion in an inconspicuous spot like the bottom of the piece. Btw, those streaks are in all
liklyhood made only by knives... do not use your finest formal dinnerware for serving steak or any
other foods requiring heavy cutting, and even then invest in quality steak knives, they require less
pressure therefore are far less likely to mark.

I don't know what your dishes are made from, but mine are made by Pfaltzgraff, and are heavy
stoneware. Pfaltzgraff makes a special cleanser that is specifically for removing marks such as
you describe.

I have seen it at JC Penney's and other stores where they sell the Pfaltzgraff dishes. You can also
find it at Pfaltzgraff outlets and at their online store www.pfaltzgraff.com

No, I'm not affiliated with Pfaltzgraff at all, just a long-time consumer of their products.

If your dishes are also stoneware, this stuff will work on them. It's mildly abrasive and there is
also a chemical in it that reacts against the marks.

You should have no trouble finding this stuff where they sell Pfaltzgraff products.

That's really good to know, Sheryl. I have the same problem with certain colors of Fiestaware.
Thanks for posting this.

Okay, thank you. 🙂 The dishes are indeed Pfaltzgraff. I hadn't noticed that made a cleaner for
removing the marks. Seems like this would be a bit less "elbow grease" than the pencil eraser idea.
Have a Merry Christmas.

Try toothpaste and a toothbrush. Spread some around and let it sit for a minute or 2, as long as it
stays moist. Then use the brush on it.

Hope it works for you.
