Wow, you all have some fabulous collections and photos! What I mostly have are questions, questions, and more questions. Can you ever learn enough about Pyrex? I think not!
Ooops, I almost forgot.
I'm Mary from Mom Wald's Place. How are ya all doin'? Good? Good! Now let's get back to the Pyrex.
Give me baked on grease to clean off of Pyrex, and I'm your gal. How in the world do you fix this, though? Thoughts?
As soon as it's spiffy looking I'm going to take a lovely, beautiful photo of it. A photo that Jeni would be proud of! Then I'll share it properly. Thanks in advance for your help!
I'd like to know how you remove the baked-on grease without damaging the shiny finish! And if you find a solution to getting red of those marks above, let us know!
ReplyDeleteI recommend Bar Keepers Friend. It's a powder cleanser much finer than ajax or comet and comes in a small gold container. You have to be careful how you use it because if you rub too vigorously it can remove color. Also do not use with any patterns that have gold leaf on them. If you'd like to know more, here's where I found the information.

I recinnebd Bar Keepers Friend also; I use it on my glass-top stove, my Corning Ware and my Pyrex! Where I live we have to buy it at the hardware store.
ReplyDeleteI'm not the greatest at getting out stains and marks either, but have you tried a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser?
ReplyDeleteGreetings from a fellow Badger stater!
Over at Pyrex Love they now recommend Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. There's more information about what they have to say here:

I have some stained Pyrex bakeware and whatever I try it doesn't come off! Yes I tried barkeeper's friend...
ReplyDeletehot water, baking soda & a scrub brush!
ReplyDeleteI soak all mine, that need it, in hot, soapy water for a couple hours. It usually gets most of it off with maybe just a little rubbing.
ReplyDeleteI have one other tip for burned on grease - on anything almost (not painted surfaces or some plastics). At Sam's Club, we buy the gallon size bottle of Greased Lightening, and it comes with a filled spray bottle. I use it for grease/oil/dirt, etc. on clothing in my laundry, and it has SAFELY removed things like black car grease from a white sweater. For the kitchen - here's a really good grease cleaner - I wet anything with burned on grease or any kind of burned-on mess (those who don't have self-cleaning ovens or do have glass top stoves-heads up, please!) Spray the burned on mess and cover it with a paper towel. Really soak that towel, then cover all of it with a lid or anything that will keep the Greased Lightening from evaporating. I use my large pot lids. Even plastic wrap will do in a pinch. Small items can go into a baggie. Soak it at least overnight. Most stains will just wipe off with the paper towel. Rinse, wash as usual, then dry. No rubbing, scrubbing or elbow grease involved. I have tennis elbow in both arms, so that's an activity I can't do anyway, and this method saves my sore tendons from that kind of punishment. For just a quick and easy greasy spot, the Bar Keepers Friend is very safe, but having to literally sand away a spot is going to damage your glass/ceramic ware. I had to retrieve my can of it from the utility room because that's where DH kept it to use on the white wall tires. It does those better than any car cleaner on the market he says.
ReplyDeleteWow! I'm a big baking soda fan. It didn't touch this.
ReplyDeleteNow I have a new shopping list. Results will be shared.
We homeschool, I think I feel a chemistry class developing.
