Dishwasher use is not recommended for products with metal decorations. Always store in a dry and humid-free environment.
REMOVING STAINS
Most stains can be removed by soaking products in a warm water before washing. If you trying to remove stains from your beloved mug, however, it became stubborn then try to use a mixture of bicarbonate soda, water, and vinegar or squeeze a little bit of lemon juice. You can also dissolve one tablespoon of baking soda in the wash water.
WARNING! Using strong chemical cleaners or rubbing with abrasive materials may result in product damage.
WASHING IN A DISHWASHER
It is safe to wash you bone china in an automatic dishwasher as long as you can stick to the following recommendations. Load your dishwasher with bone china products so that pieces DO NOT touch each other, to ensure the risk of scratching. Do not overload and do not exceed a temperature of 60ºC/ 140ºF when washing bone china in the dishwasher. We recommend you to use gentle, short wash or china and crystal cycle. Use a gentle detergent, eco – detergents are a better choice that stronger dish-washing powder and tablets. Once the dishwasher ended its cycle, remove bone china immediately, this will help to prevent to form a film around your chinaware.
USING A MICROWAVE
If products are decorated with precious metals then it should never be placed in the microwave. Due to extreme temperature changes, we do not recommend to heat your chinaware for more than three minutes.
