The team over at The Kitchn certainly did a thorough job of evaluating these three methods and determining what works best. Here's their advice:
Removing the Scuffs
Choose your abrasive cleaner, and sprinkle it generously over the surface of your dish. Make a paste by adding a few drops of water and then rubbing gently with a wet dishcloth. Spread the paste all over the surface of your dish, and then let it sit for a minute or two. Scrub the scuffs with your dishcloth until they're gone — light scuffs will come out fairly easily, while heavy scuffs will take a bit of elbow grease. Wash the paste off the dish with soap and water, dry, and you're done.The Results Speak for Themselves
As you can see in the before-and-after gallery above, baking soda and cream of tartar do a decent job of clearing up minor scuffs and lightening up the big ones — you can see some of the bigger scuff marks still visible in the middle of the plates.For seriously scuffed dishes, Bar Keepers Friend is the clear winner. I was so happy with how well it worked on my plates that I gave it a go on some very old, and very scratched cereal bowls. I'd forgotten my bowls were ever that white!
We just love white dishes, but we always struggled with how to keep them in pristine condition and what to do if they became damaged. We really love these options, and we can't wait to try them with our own dishes!
