How to Clean Rust off of Corelle

Corelle dishes are easy to clean, durable and available in a variety of styles. The dishes are not susceptible to rust since there is no metal in the make-up of the dishes. But if your Corelle dishes come in contact with a pan or pot that is rusty, rust can transfer to your dishes. You may notice rust stains along the edges of your Corelle dishes or on the bottom of the dishes.

Things You'll Need

• Rubber gloves
• Non-abrasive cleaner
• Nylon cleaning pad or sponge
• Warm, soapy water
• Dry soft cloth

Instructions

1. Lay the Corelle dish on a clean, flat surface. Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands.

2. Apply ½ teaspoon of a non-abrasive cleaner onto a nylon cleaning pad or sponge.

3. Scrub the rust stain gently with the cleaning pad or sponge until the rust stain is removed.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for other rust stains on your Corelle dish.

5. Wash the dish in warm, soapy water. Rinse in warm water.

6. Dry the Corelle dish with a clean, soft cloth.

7. Repeat steps for other Corelle dishes that have rust you need to remove.

Tips & Warnings

• If washing your Corelle dishes in a dishwasher, make sure they are not touching metal pots and pans. Also, make sure they are not touching a rusty rack in your dishwasher.
