Caring for Bone china tableware set
- Cleaning
It is recommended to wash by hand, which can extend the service life of bone china tableware, coffee & tea cups and saucers, tea sets, and mugs. You can also use a dishwasher with a “test or crystal” function. In particular, ceramic tableware with gold or gold foil decorations cannot be heated in a microwave oven, because the bumping reaction will produce sparks. And if there are metal powder decorations (tableware with gold or silver line ,or floral surfaces), it is best not to use them in a microwave oven.
You can use a soft scouring pad to clean it, do not scrub it with a steel wool or iron brush
- Oil stain treatment
If the surface of the bone china cup is stained with oil, it can be cleaned directly with warm water at about 80°C, or with an alkaline detergent with a pH value between 11-11.5.
- Tea stains
If there are tea stains on the bottom, you can use lemon juice, vinegar, or weak salt water to clean it, which can weaken the stains to a certain extent.
If there are scratches, you can use toothpaste to polish it slightly.
- Notes
Bone china tableware is easy to stain because its glaze does not contain harmful substances such as lead and cadmium. Please wash it immediately after use.
Do not use it in a sudden cold or hot environment, which will affect the quality of the tableware and may also cause it to crack.
Do not burn fine bone china tableware set directly on an open flame.
