Re: scraperI know, that is what I thought too. I have been telling people it wont stain.. oops
 
Re: scraperWash it as mentioned above, and set it in the sun. It will bleach it out naturally. They do sometimes turn colors of strong coloring agents (like red dye from koolaid, etc.), but they will usually turn white again. Just need to wash and set out in a window for a day. Try it - it really works! :)
 
Re: scraperI did have a scraper that turned yellow and I tried everything to get it white again. Nothing worked, I called HO and they replaced it.

It does say the "won't stain but they should say that they are "stain resistant".
 
Re: scraperMine stain...from all the red sauce I make for DH- wish I could say bleach worked on mine but no go...that's okay I like orange...sorta! :)
