I'm not bleaching my arm hair.

(I keep extra rubber gloves handy) Give it a second to lift. And rinse with warm water and soap. <br /><br />If it is light stains... I fill up the sink with the hottest water I can stand (with my gloves on) and add in a half cup of bleach. Put the dishes in and give it a minute to work. <br /><br />And if I need to scrub I only use one of those Mr. Clean white sponges. Get it wet and spot clean. I have never mixed bleach with my white sponges.Farm Girl Pink...https://www.blogger.com/profile/04993969965743940290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-62910530814638187022012-03-03T09:09:34.680-06:002012-03-03T09:09:34.680-06:00I love Texasware.

I've had two large confetti mixing bowls since I set up housekeeping in 1967, and they look almost as good today as they did then...not a single chip, crack or stain.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-8798527861110376172012-03-03T08:54:18.269-06:002012-03-03T08:54:18.269-06:00We've recently started collecting Boontonware ...We've recently started collecting Boontonware and have been able to get<br />some stains out using soft scrub with bleach and 3M scotchbrite pads. Try the soft scrub first with a sponge, and if that doesn't work, use the scotchbrite, but rub gently, you don't want to scratch the surface. Our melmac is speckled too! If there are any experts out there, should we be using the dishwasher or does this dull the finish in the long run???<br /> cc (cluelesscampers)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-47206520562950286702012-03-03T06:39:48.595-06:002012-03-03T06:39:48.595-06:00Hey Mr

As in Blue Speckled Texas Ware.<br /><br />Don't know if it's an official name, but it's pretty common over in Indiana.Davehttp://davesmidcenturystuff.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
