Dishwasher Makes Stains/Marks on Dishes
Comments (2)Do the grey marks follow a line that look sort of like cracked glass? You might have to hold the plates up to the light to check. Sometimes the glaze is bad on plates and hairline cracks form. Water gets down to the core, where the porcelain/china/stoneware soak it up, causing grey lines that often look a bit like tempered glass that is broken. Ask me how I know about this. But that was only one set of dishes out of several, where I've ever had that happen. If that's the case, it's a bad finish on the dishes and not the dishwasher's fault. But, possibly amplified or accelerated by the hot water inside a dishwsher....See MoreI'd like to find white dishes that will stay white!
Comments (28)I am reviving this thread, as I am looking to replace/upgrade my everyday stoneware dishes. Was thinking I wanted to get plain white, but while shopping did find I was drawn to the colourful stoneware dishes... Part of the reason I wanted to replace my current set was the grey (Now I know from cutlery) marks all over the dishes. From reading this post, I cleaned them all off with BKF, magic eraser didn't work at all. Totally amazed at how new they all look, but many of the plates have chips under the rims, so am going to buy new. After doing research on the web for a few days, it is not 100% clear how to avoid those cutlery marks on dinnerware, various opinions blamed the SS count, ie whether is was 18/10, 18/8 etc. I have a feeling it is the stoneware that marks up the most. My porcelain and my good china dishes aren't marked. DH says it's because they're not used as much. He's right, they don't get much use, but I'm wondering if those of you who DO use porcelain or bone china daily still get grey marks. To make it even harder, just got an email today that Ikea is putting their Fargrik 6 place setting stoneware set on sale for $19.99! Maybe I just buy 2 sets of that for now, and wait to fall in love with some coloured/patterned set and buy when it's on sale. Still won't address the grey cutlery marks......See MoreWhite Dishes
Comments (17)We have had Corelle plain white undecorated plates for almost forever. We bought them when our eldest graduated from college and needed many more decent plates in short order "right now" for the horde of relatives and friends descending on us. We still use them and most of the other plates have pretty much gone away via a whole slew of kids and porcelain tile floors. The operative description is "clean". They are so plain they fit with everything and detract from nothing, especially the food. They go with any of the scads of tablecloths we have, are dead easy to wash, and have enough accessory pieces to almost never have a problem. It's smoother and harder than all that overpriced Dansk we use to get. I think it's another case of plain-old-ordinary goods trumping the "special" stuff. Wish I could say the same for the cheap ugly thin flatware we bought, but that's all gone on too, towards helping various kids set up living arrangements. Everything works out....See MoreLooking for dinnerware that doesn't get grey cutlery marks
Comments (63)I’ve used Gorham Melonbud 18/10 flatware for the last 26 years. It has left TONS of gray marks on our 1) expensive Mikasa stoneware, 2) Target Threshold porcelain, and now 3) Mikasa bone china. The only surface this 18/10 flatware hasn’t destroyed is a newer set of 4 Target Threshold porcelain salad plates that I bought to replace some of the original set that broke. Got others in that style thinking I’d found the perfect match … nope, only those 4 can defend against the Melonbud. I’m giving up. It must be the flatware but that goes against everything out there that says 18/10 is the “hardest” and shouldn’t leave marks. Might switch to plastic, lol. ;0)...See Morebiondanonima (Zone 7a Hudson Valley)
