Funny thing is about those bowls. I googled the name and some of those bowls are worth up to $20.00 apiece. I bought them because they looked neat. And I paid a dollar for all 4!

Interesting. Did you see this story on CNN?

Have you tried cleaning with baking soda, put some on a damp sponge or cloth and rub it on. I have used baking soda on a lot of things that it worked really well. And it won't scratch.

How about baking soda? Mix it with water to make a paste and have a go at the stains.

I saw that story on FoxNews also. I don't think mine are quite in the same league.

Thanks for the link

The best thing I have found for removing stains from dishes is OXY-CLEAN it can be found in the laundry products section at Walmart.

Well my bowls are white once again !!!!

I soaked them in denture tablets as per directions. Then I made a paste of baking soda and water and used a Magic Eraser to scrub the bowls.

Thank you one and all for the great tips.
