I've had success removing stains in vintage pieces with a product called "Brew Rite". It's actually used to clean out / descale coffee and espresso makers. It's a granular powder that you mix with water. It's non corrosive. Just mix according to directions, soak piece for 15 minutes or longer. You might need to use a cloth to scrub a bit. I've had to soak a few pieces more than once but was amazed with the results. BTW - this stuff will clean up a coffee maker like new. Another product that I wouldn't be without is Greased Lightning (available at Walmart, Dollar Stores). This stuff will clean just about anything. Be careful not to get it on a varnish / shellac/ poly surface as it will remove the finish. It's the best de-greaser I have found. No - I don't own stock in this companies but probably should. :)Krazy4Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00759139762164230288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-69382225238927220572010-12-24T01:20:37.244-06:002010-12-24T01:20:37.244-06:00Rhan - Someday I'll Post about some of my craz...Rhan - Someday I'll Post about some of my crazier trips to buy things.

I did mess around with using a Brillo Scrubbers pad. When new, these will remove those silver knife / utensil marks off of thrifted dinner ware! They become less effective over time so keep lots of new ones handy if hunting for your collection. Thanks for the suggestions / secrets! I will try them out and maybe make a post on the results. Being able to rescue pieces that are perfect otherwise is a pretty handy trick to have up ones sleeve!Mr. Modtomichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804031065414619749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668802457367853649.post-69663337045040716642010-12-20T11:09:55.445-06:002010-12-20T11:09:55.445-06:00Have you tried a magic eraser on the stain?
