Household Hints & Help
Related: About this forumBefore and after pictures using Barkeepers Friend.
I bought a whole set of Franciscan Desert Rose dishes for $10 because they were marked and crazed. I tried bleach and baking soda with vinegar with no luck. I thought Barkeepers Friend would just be like Comet. What a surprise! (I don't sell it and I'm not affiliated with it in any way.) It's not perfect, but now they're usable.
