I used to have corelle dishes and used them for many years up north. Over time they would dark marks in the cups, on the plates etc. Corelle makes a cleaner much like Soft Scrub that will take the marks right off easy peasy. Soft Scrub works well also. I used to get the cleaner at Bed, Bath, and I am told the dark marks actually come from the silverware. That idea seems true in my case because the marks in the coffee cups were in a swirling pattern like using to spoon to stir the coffee. Anyway, I use 18/10 stainless I am now getting dark marks on my Fiesta Ware and will be getting out the cleaner. I may try the Mr. Clean Eraser. By the way, the Mr. Clean Eraser works well on the walls here with the builder grade paint. Hope this info helps. OOPS! I wasn't paying attention. This is an old post.
