My trivet has gotten beaten up pretty badly from packing it and using it. Is there any way to clean it up so it looks pretty again?

Actually my Self Sharpening Knives have corroded a bit any ideas on that too?

Thanks~Kacey

VERY soon - you will be able to order the new season's trivet to use for the 2007-2008 selling season. It is so pretty!

YOU TEASE!! LOL
 
Mine got beat up too.... makes it hard to show and sell when it's scratched.
 
I kept mine in the box to pack it for shows this past year and it looks great. The box is small so it didn't take up much space and kept the trivet's rubber feet from catching on other items in the bag...

Just thought I would mention that you could do that with the new one, it doesn't help you with the old one though...

I'll remember to do that this time around! We actually have 3 trivets and wanted to clean it up for shows til the end of August, then hang it up in the kitchen!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Kacey's tips for making my trivet look new again?

Kacey suggests using a mixture of baking soda and water to create a paste. Apply the paste to the trivet, let it sit for a few minutes, and then scrub gently with a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry to restore its shine.

How can I restore the shine to my Pampered Chef knives?

To restore the shine to your Pampered Chef knives, Kacey recommends using a non-abrasive cleaner or a mixture of vinegar and water. Wipe the blades with a soft cloth soaked in the solution, then rinse and dry immediately to prevent rusting.

Are there any specific products Kacey recommends for cleaning?

Kacey often recommends using the Pampered Chef Kitchen Spritzer for even application of cleaning solutions and a gentle dish soap for everyday cleaning. For tougher stains, a baking soda paste is a great natural option.

How often should I clean my trivet and knives to keep them looking new?

Kacey advises cleaning your trivet and knives after each use to prevent buildup and maintain their appearance. Regular maintenance will help keep them looking new for longer.

Can I put my Pampered Chef knives in the dishwasher?

No, Kacey strongly advises against putting Pampered Chef knives in the dishwasher. Hand washing with mild soap and drying immediately is the best way to preserve their quality and longevity.
