Ceramic tableware care guide

Ceramic tableware is loved by people for its beautiful and practical features. However, proper maintenance is essential to maintain the quality of ceramic tableware and extend its service life.

Daily cleaning

When cleaning ceramic tableware on a daily basis, avoid sudden cold and hot. Do not rinse hot ceramic tableware with cold water immediately after use, and do not place it on a cold countertop to avoid cracking the tableware due to excessive temperature changes. It is recommended to place hot tableware on an insulating pad first and wait for it to cool to room temperature before washing. During the cleaning process, you should choose soft cleaning tools such as soft cloth or sponge, and avoid using rough tools such as steel wool and hard brushes to prevent scratching the glaze of ceramic tableware. If there are stubborn stains on the tableware, you can add a small amount of neutral detergent to warm water, soak the tableware for 10-15 minutes, and then wipe it gently.

Maintenance of Special Decorative Tableware

For ceramic tableware with painted or gilded decorations, their decorative layer is relatively fragile. When cleaning, be extra careful and avoid rubbing the patterned part. This type of tableware is not suitable for washing in a dishwasher, and should not be soaked in water for a long time, otherwise the pattern may fall off. Matte or frosted ceramic tableware is easy to hide dirt on the surface, so it needs to be thoroughly dried after cleaning to prevent residual moisture from forming water stains or breeding mildew.

Storage precautions

When storing ceramic tableware, it should be stored in categories. Tableware of different sizes and shapes should be placed separately to avoid stacking too tightly. You can put soft cloth or paper pads between the dishes to reduce friction and collision between the tableware. At the same time, avoid placing heavy objects on top of the stacked tableware to prevent the tableware at the bottom from being crushed and damaged. The environment for storing tableware is also very important. It needs to be kept dry and ventilated. A humid environment can easily damage the glaze of ceramic tableware and may also breed mold.

Taboos in use

When using ceramic tableware, there are some taboos to pay attention to. In addition to avoiding sudden changes in high temperature as mentioned above, you should also avoid using ceramic tableware to hold strong acid and alkaline foods, such as vinegar, lemon juice, pickles, etc. Because these foods may corrode the glaze of ceramic tableware, especially cracked tableware, which is more likely to absorb odors and difficult to clean. If there are cracks or gaps in ceramic tableware, it is not only easy to hide dirt, but also may scratch your hands when using it. It is recommended to replace it in time.
