Hints from Heloise - Stain removal (from everyday silverware)

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: I have some everyday silverware that looks stained. Every morning, I drink my coffee and add creamer with a spoon. I then set the spoon down and enjoy my cup of joe. When the silverware comes out of the dishwasher, there is a circular stain. What can I do? -- Cathy S. in Texas

The stain probably is the fat that’s in the creamer. Here’s what was tested in Heloise Central: A little dish soap on a microfiber cloth (rubbing the stain) did the trick! If that does not work, mix a little baking soda and dish soap to make a paste, and rub-a-dub-dub! The baking soda won’t scratch as long as it’s wet. Baking soda is a great household product to have around.

To prevent the stained spoon, rinse under water or keep a small cup of water by the pot to dip the spoon into after use. -- Heloise
