After a while, it’s inevitable that your dishes, such as plates and bowls, will end up with unpleasant scratches. Instead of always replacing your dishes, why not restore them? It’s super easy and super quick to do. All you need is a can of Bar Keepers Friend that’ll run you about $4. Using Bar Keepers Friend will revitalize those scratches and polish your dinnerware, looking good as new. Simply sprinkle some of the powder onto your plate, add a little bit of water, and scrub away with a sponge. You don’t want to go too crazy with it, as the cleaner is a bit abrasive.
