I recently purchased some Diane procelain china at the local Goodwill, they have some rust stains on the cups and plates and I was wondering if there was any safe way in cleaning them up (I want to re-use them). I would like to avoid buying replacements :)
Any help would be appreciated.

Forgot to mention; I have already washed the set with warm water and soap.

Try some CLR. Available at your local home and garden store. Should do the trick.

Barkeepers' Friend or Zud. Contains oxalic acid which will easily remove rust marks without damaging porcelain. Wash and rinse the dish well. Oxalic acid crystals are poisonous.

"Whink" rust remover, it works. You can buy it almost anywhere. I usually get mine at savemart, or any hardware store. it comes in a small brown plastics bottle and costs about $5 to 6 dollars. Get some it works on all rust, clothes, porcelain metal, you name it.
By the way, my name is Diane! lol.

Soak it in water mixed with liquid bleach. After a few hours, you can wash it with liquid soap and stains will be gone.
