    TaDa! After about 2 days in Denture Tablets . . It made a huge difference. This is a first for me, first time denture tablets cleaned anything. Usually, they're a dud for my stuff so I stopped trying. This turned out well.

    BTW, I have read a soaking in a vinegar and water solution can stop the white fuzzy reaction after the very bad and mistaken use of bleach. I haven't tried it (I've never tried a bleach soak!) but I remember that suggestion from a thread years ago on the eBay boards.

    Hi Marie,
    I have used vinegar to try and stop the fuzzys. Once in a while it will work sometimes it doesn't. The longer the bleach stays in the item, the worse the problem will be. I have just rinsed some china in pure bleach and never had a problem. Once I soaked four cups for several hours (forgot about them) and three of them oozed for days one did not do anything. So I learned.
