Things You'll Need:
- ¼ cup household bleach
- ¼ cup water softening powder
- Rubber gloves
- 1 tbsp. non-gel toothpaste
- ¼ tsp. ammonia
- Soft cloth

Step 1
Combine the household bleach and water softening powder with one gallon of very hot water in the kitchen sink or any other large, non-aluminum container. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
-
Step 2
Place the stainless cutlery into the solution, and allow to soak for 30 to 45 minutes. Allow more soaking time for very dirty utensils as necessary.
-
Step 3
Remove from the sink, and place into the other side of the sink or in a clean container. Rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of bleach.

Step 4
Put on a pair of rubber gloves to protect your hands. Combine the toothpaste with the ammonia in a small non-aluminum container. Use the solution to remove stubborn spots from the cutlery with a soft cloth.

Step 5
Place the stainless cutlery directly into the dishwasher or into a sink full of hot soapy water and wash as usual. Dry thoroughly before putting away.
