Troubleshooting
Utensil feels sticky or greasy after washing.
Ensure you are using sufficient dish soap and rinsing thoroughly with warm water. For persistent residue, try a baking soda paste scrub.
Utensil has developed a slight discoloration.
This can happen with prolonged contact with highly staining foods. Try cleaning with a baking soda and water paste, or a mild bleach solution for white melamine items (rinse thoroughly). Avoid leaving utensils in contact with staining foods for extended periods.
Utensil feels rough or has a minor chip.
While durable, melamine can chip if dropped forcefully. Minor roughness can sometimes be smoothed with very fine-grit sandpaper, but significant chips may render the utensil unsafe for certain uses.
