I found a cleaner that gets scratches off dinner plates – they can literally be wiped away like you’re a magician
A COOKING fan has described the sensation of removing stubborn marks from dinner plates as being like magic.
He thought the marks were there for keeps until he found the perfect cleaner that allowed them to be literally wiped away.
So enamored was he by the product he used that he joked it was now “his friend.”
The hack reveal came from Joel (@nanananabeedah), who has over 84,000 likes on his TikTok, where he is “kickin’ it in the kitchen.”
But this post has fired the public imagination attracting over 83,000 likes and hundreds of comments.
“Do you also have old plates like these?” asked Joel, presenting white dinner plates covered in scratches.
“If you’re like me you thought they were scratched beyond repair.” Well, think again.
“But today I learned that these grey scratches are actually metal streaks left behind by your knives and other cutlery and can be literally wiped off.
“I can’t believe all these years I thought there was some coating I had scratched on my plates.”
His secret weapon was, Bar Keepers Friend and he was about to show how effective it was.
“So make your plate wet [and] sprinkle on this Bar Keepers Friend.”
Be sure to wear hand protection, warned Joel: “Also good idea to wear gloves. The mild acid in the solution dried out my hands pretty well,” he admitted.
Then he wiped the plate firmly and within seconds, the marks started to disappear, leaving a clean, mark-free plate as good as new.
“And you’re a magician,” Joel added, amazed. “I am, what the kids ostensibly say, shook.”
He also had a new buddy.
“Bar Keepers Friend is now also my friend,” he said.
Commenters agreed with him about the wonder of this cleaning product.
“Bar Keepers friend has been my friend for many years now,” said one person.
Another said: “Omg, I can finally buy those cute plates from the thrift store if it’s that easy to remove those marks.”
This viewer was incredulous: “How did I not realize this before.”
