Hope someone can help me with this. I did a party yesterday and we used mustard in a recipe. The mustard has stained my adjustable measuring spoon. Should it have done this?? Does anyone know what I could use to try to remove the stain. The yellow colour is very obvious on the grey part and I don't really want to use this at my shows. Any suggestions?
