We use this product on occasion in our professional restoration studio and are pleased to add it to our list of restorer-recommended and tested items. It is manufactured by the Pfaltzgraff company, makers of fine stoneware, and is designed for their own pieces but is wonderful for other stoneware and matte pottery like Roseville, Wedgwood, Hull, Van Briggle, Rookwood, etc. We also use it on some hard porcelains, but advise against using it on soft-bodied earthenware, or fine china or ceramics with overglaze paint, enamelling or other special details like applied designs. Do not use on pieces with gold or gilding. Read on for more information. Here see photo we used the Cleaner on an extreme example of rust stained ironstone pottery. WOW And see the before and after result on a knife-marked, scratched Wedgwood salad plate with a semi-matte glaze that would not wash clean and did not respond to other professional stain removal methods. Knife marks and metallic scratches are visually diminished and rust stains are removed after using this product. To remove organic staining tea, coffee, grease and age stains, etc from an object, we refer you to our step-by-step Stain Removal Manual available here on our website for 15.99. Add the manual to your order now. The Cleaner is availble in two sizes, a small 10oz container, or this large size of 20oz. By following the manufacturer's instructions, we're sure you'll be pleased with the results. You can even use it as a handy helper for glass cookware, tile or fiberglass surfaces and porcelain sinks. Buyer understands and agrees we cannot guarantee results and are not liable for any damage or injury. US Shipping handling will be at a 2lb Priority Mail rate, insurance optional but recommended.
