Soak the dishes in a solution of water and vinegar overnight. Vinegar works especially well to make white dishes spotless. Use the green cleaning go-to method of scrubbing stains with a concoction of vinegar and baking soda. The chemical reaction between the base and acid makes this pair a powerful cleaning agent.

Jiff!

I dont know I have never really tried but maybe using methylated spirits I suppose it would evaporate but your best to look this up I’m no expert

Bicarb soda removes stains from coffee cups, try it on the white plates.

Agree with the magic sponge suggestion. Those things are amazing.

Lemon juice and salt, great for removing coffee and tea stains from cups as well.

I think it would depend on the stain but I have used course salt (make a paste) with success.

for really stained white cups and plates we use domestos then a really good clean to make sure it is all cleaned off before using again, we do this in the shop I work in for coffee stains

If u don’t want to use bleach try the magic sponge by chux it’s fantastic

Thank you so much for all your wonderful suggestions,much appreciated!

Just show care when using products if you are planning to use plates for eating. Caution with chemicals at all times.

Depending on what it’s made of be careful what you use but bleach and then a thorough wash and rinse should work.

Try a magic eraser – I swear they remove everything!!

I’d try rubbing with either bi carb or Jiff.

When I worked as a housemaid, they had complete dinner sets that were white. To remove stains, we filled the sink with warm water and a dash of bleach. We left them to soak while we cleaned the rest of the cabin. Then thouroughly rinse them in fresh hot water. Worked for nearly all the stains I’ve come across

I like soaking in nappy san. When this doesn’t help try spraying with hydrogen peroxide or you could even make up some diluted bleach in a spray bottle.

It depends on the stains – whatever you use – test on a small area first.

Have you tried soaking it in nappy san?

Tablespoon of baking soda, add a small amount of water to make a paste. Using a clean cloth, scrub the stains vigorously with the paste, then rinse. Could also use lemon juice or vinegar in place of water.
Or for a deeper clean, soak the dish in hot water with a little bit of bicarb and vinegar.
Good luck. This has worked for me in the past, but I do have one dish that a stain got into a crack that never goes away.
