dishwasher scratches

More and more, I pull out chipped or scratched dishes out of my dishwasher. Tonight, I searched for ideas on how to stop this madness!

Instructions

1. Tips for Avoiding Scratches

   • 1
     Scrape food off of plates with a plastic spatula instead of a metal one or metal utensils.
   • 2
     See if the protective coating on silverware has come off. If so, the silverware must be replaced to reduce scratches.

   • 3
     Place dinner plates in the dishwasher away from the silverware rack. During the washing cycle, the silverware may be rubbing against the dinnerware and creating scratches.
   • 4
     Put a napkin or rubber lining in between plates when you stack them. It might be a good idea to have two sets: one for the cabinet when they're clean, and one for stacking them dirty by the kitchen sink awaiting wash.

   Removing the Scratches

   • 5
     Make a thick paste with the baking soda and water.
   • 6
     Using the soft cloth, rub the paste in a circular motion on the scratches.
   • 7
     Wash with warm water, and repeat as needed.
