How can we prevent black scratches on our beloved Dots dishes?

[Kelly8]

How do we prevent black scratches on the dots dishes from things being cut on them? I had a host who just couldn't wait to get these, but she is a little disappointed in the black scratches. Or how is it easily taken off? Does Mr. Clean work?

MAGIC ERASERS!! Work like magic.

 

[Kelly8]

great! Thanks I will tell her!

Our stainless cleaner works great for that too.

I'll try the stainless cleaner cuz my magic eraser didn't work on the couple of black lines I have on mine. Thanks for the suggestion!

 

[Kelly8]

Jeez my stainless cleaner didn't work either. Trying bleach now.

I just ignore the marring. The food just goes right back on and hides it. People are just going to make more marks on it again. Actually, I don't know how bad yours look, but mine just have several marks, but they aren't that dark. I'm used to seeing them because all my other brands of dishes I've owned did the same thing.

It's not really about me, it's about the host. She's a really good host and I want to keep her very happy!

Correll Cleaner works beautifully. It's made to clean those types of marks from that type of surface.

Thats terrible! Why do we sell expensive dishes that mark up like that? I have some white based plates that I've had forever and they never show marks. ???

Im with Jackie - i have had a set of Corelle since college and they look as good as the day I bought them. They weigh a whole lot less, hold up well and cost less. I guess that's why my dot's collection sits in a box in the basement. I do like the bowls for ice cream though.

You can try Bar Keepers Friend as well. It also works for stains on the knives.

I had Corelle, too and it marred. That's interesting, huh?! And then I had Pfaltzgraf dishes, and they did, too.Kelly, I didn't mean to sound insensitive to your host's feelings. :blushing: I know it stinks to have something that you pay a lot for not hold up as you were hoping. (Like the staining that happens with the collapsible bowls...I had an upset host/good friend with that situation.) Just thought I'd point out that it is marring and it is a known thing that happens. I think in the U&C it even mentions it, but I could be wrong.I do love my Dots SA pieces, even if they have the marks. They still make me happy when I see them. Something about those dots, I guess.
