Hi to all of you very interesting consultant: I love all your posts! I was asked at a show recently about how to clean the simple additions pieces. Several guests had said they had little scratches on them and wanted to know if there was a way to get rid of them.

I've looked in the P>I>G> and couldn't locate it. Thanks in advance for your helpful information!:)
 
soft scrubthey are probably getting little grey scratches from using metal utensils on them etc.. from what I've read, a little bit of Soft Scrub or Bon Ami and some elbow grease should take the scratches right off. You do'nt want to use something to abrasive that it roughes the ceramic.

Hope that helps.:)
 
I don't know this from experience, but I'll bet you could also try baking soda or toothpaste on the scratches.
