How To Remove Scratches From Dishes

To get started you need your plates that are scratched up. I recommend doing them all at once and then you can send them through the dishwasher when you are done cleaning them.

I started with my plate that is the worst. As you can tell from the plate above the scratches are very noticeable.

Sprinkle a large amount of cream of tartar on the plate. I used around a tablespoon per plate.

Create A Paste To Remove Scratches From Your Dishes

Then use a damp microfiber towel to scrub at the plate. The water in the microfiber cloth will help create a paste with the cream of tartar.

Spend a few minutes scrubbing against the scratched areas in your dishes.

The paste from the water and cream of tartar act as an abrasive to remove the scratches from the plates.

The scratches will slowly disappear the longer that you scrub at them.

Rinse the Dishes

Once you are finished with removing all the scratches from the plate you can rinse it under water to remove the cream of tartar. Wash the plate off and run it through the dishwasher.

Repeat if Necessary

Sometimes if your plate is really scratched up you may need to repeat this process a few times. Just make a paste again using the cream of tartar and scrub to remove the scratches.

There is one small scratch that you can still see, but for the most part, it looks pretty good. I was able to take the scratches out of all of the dishes in about 30 minutes and with one container of cream of tartar.
