A. Have you tried the factory outlet stores? Some of them have Corning Ware/Revere Ware stores. I found some copper cleaner at a factory store 40 minutes from my home. I bought 5 bottles so that they'll last me a long time.

, I ordered it from the company that makes the Barkeepers Friend, the last time I tried to order it (9/2013), I was told they no longer made it, because they couldn't get the stores to carry it. I do not like the Cameo brand, I have tried eBay but all they have is the stainless steel cleaner. I'm very disappointed that they quit making it, it was the best, I've tried others but none works like Copper Glo.

A. Hi Glenna. We linked your mention of it to available stocks on eBay ... but since it appears to be a discontinued product the sellers who have remaining stock are probably asking a premium for it. Sometimes a product comes back, and you can hope for that as well. As an alternate, Barkeeper's Friend ⇦ this on eBay or Amazon [affil links] seems pretty good.

Copper dishware damaged by dishwasher
Q. I have a friend who was just telling me the first time she had a dinner party using her prized copper dinnerware the guests cleared & put dishes in her dishwasher. She bought the dishes overseas and is just sick about it. Is there a remedy or should she just throw them out?

A. Hi Donna. Assuming it's solid copper, not just copper plated, there should be little difficulty polishing it. A copper cleaner like Revereware Copper Cleaner is able to clean even copper pots, so I would think it can handle this. But if not, then a buffing pad on a battery-operated drill and something like Mothers .
will surely do it.
But copper tarnishes rather quickly, so the thing which I'm not quite understanding here is how your friend found the maintenance requirement of these dishes satisfactory unless they had some sort of food-safe coating on them. And, if so, why did the dishwasher remove it.
