Citrus To Remove White Buildup on Dishes


Silver Post Medal for All Time! 306 Posts

I read everything I could and citric acid kept coming up. Well Fruit Fresh is basically citric acid and I happened to have some so I gave it a try. I put around 2 tablespoons in 4 cups of cold water and immersed my apple dish in it, 5 minutes later I checked it. I couldn't believe my eyes it was sparkling clear. No elbow grease needed. I dried it and put it in the cupboard looking like new. You must try it to believe and save your elbows!

I will try all of these suggestions. My glasses look like they are full of milk when they are empty & my stainless steel flatware is white. I considered using silver polish on the stainless but thought I would try these suggestions first.
