I remembered Meg's recommendation and decided to give it a try. It took about 10 hours soaking in the oxi-clean but look at the results; nearly perfect!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguvotS9MDPtzAHh7l6KrUKOCCDaw6cBCrAMTDw144HxvqLbBVlCxtqE0BNzOuasd7cFn-Guqk28lZYIvp1gwPIlIFAY6ZmihrYxsWhGRnR5pHdiuKlrNeNk-m5ApGFmN3LUdnP1kUGkW3d/s1600/Plate+after.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguvotS9MDPtzAHh7l6KrUKOCCDaw6cBCrAMTDw144HxvqLbBVlCxtqE0BNzOuasd7cFn-Guqk28lZYIvp1gwPIlIFAY6ZmihrYxsWhGRnR5pHdiuKlrNeNk-m5ApGFmN3LUdnP1kUGkW3d/s400/Plate+after.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>I'll be trying oxi-clean now on a number of other items; Thanks <a href="http://pigtown-design.blogspot.com/2013/06/before-after.html">Meg</a>!
