Care instructions for your ceramic tableware

With these tips, your new favorite pieces will stay beautiful for a long time.

Do you want your new dishes to last as long as possible? We can help you with a few important tips on care.

"Can my dishes go in the dishwasher? And in the microwave? What do I need to bear in mind when washing them?" We hear these questions often. That's why we would like to answer them here in peace and quiet for you and also tell you more about how you can best care for your favorite pieces.

Wash

It's best to choose a dishwasher program that doesn't exceed 50 degrees. This is gentler. You can also use rinse aid to preserve the shine of the first day.

If your ceramic dishes already have small cracks, that's not a problem. However, it's better to wash them by hand to reduce contact with water. Just grab a soft sponge and a cleaning agent. Then dry them quickly - easy peasy.

Suitable cleaning agents

Speaking of cleaning agents: it is best to use neutral, mild detergents; they should be phosphate-free and non-corrosive. Your ceramic dishes are also rather soft. They prefer soft dishwashing sponges to scratchy ones.

Evaporate and allow to cool

Let the steam escape from the machine immediately after the wash cycle. This way, your favorite dishes will dry faster and there will be fewer limescale stains. Also, give your ceramic and stoneware dishes enough time to cool down before you stack them back in the cupboard.

reduce cutlery abrasion

Abrasion cannot be completely avoided, but you can minimize it by using sharp, ground knives. These exert less pressure on the surfaces.

If you see some metal abrasion, use a soft sponge and baking soda to remove the streaks. You can also use cleaning products for stainless steel, ceramic hobs and porcelain.

microwave & oven

Microwaves and ovens are generally no problem for your dishes. However, it is best if your dishes are completely dry, as otherwise ceramic will heat up more and become damaged more quickly. Also be more careful if there are already cracks.

Try to avoid large temperature fluctuations by not preheating the oven. This will give your dishes a chance to get used to the high temperatures. Also, don't rinse them under cold water straight away.

residues

Tea and coffee stains on cups, pots, etc. are completely normal with frequent use and do no harm. If they still bother you, here's an insider tip: simply dissolve a tablet of denture cleaner in the cup. Then rinse well and voila - the cup looks like it's brand new.
