You can over clean .

  I cleaned my canisters,but still wasn't happy with the way they  looked.  Because of their age they still look a little dingy So I decided to use a orange cleaner. I had heard from a lot of people about what a great job this did.
Do you notice a different? It took the color right off. Now what? I couldn't repaint it,so I just cleaned all the rest. So they all look the sames. There are a few spots where it still has a little black on the letters. Look on the F you can see the black dot. I am thinking about painting the lids red to add a little color back in. Let me know what you think. I would welcome any ideas you have to fix them.

  1. Oh wow Michelle, I had no idea that could happen. I am sorry this happened to you, but I am glad you shared so the rest of us do not make that mistake either.

  2. I wouldn't have thought the cleaner would take off the color! I don't know what you should do. I think I might first try to find a replacement and if not, then keep it just as it is for now. Maybe you can find some ideas on the internet, other people must also have these.

  3. Hmm.. I could only think of repainting them with a small paint brush.

  4. What about using a black sharpie marker? That would be easier I think than a paint brush. But I do like them both ways!
