FAQs
What does the 18/0 stainless steel specification mean?
The 18/0 designation indicates 18 percent chromium and 0 percent nickel. It is highly durable and magnetic, making it an excellent, cost-effective choice for commercial use.
Can I use these forks in an industrial dishwasher?
Yes, the Kelso range is fully dishwasher safe and designed to withstand the heat and chemical demands of commercial cleaning.
What is the exact length of the fork?
The fork measures 205mm, making it a standard size for table settings.
Are these forks suitable for outdoor catering?
Yes, their durable construction makes them well-suited for outdoor events, provided they are dried promptly after washing.
How many forks come in a pack?
This specific variant comes in a 12-pack, ideal for supplementing your existing inventory or setting up new tables.
Do these forks rust easily?
While 18/0 stainless steel is resistant to corrosion, it is not immune. Always dry the items after washing to avoid long-term exposure to moisture.
Troubleshooting
Water spotting on the surface
Ensure the rinse aid in the dishwasher is topped up and remove cutlery promptly after the cycle ends to dry with a lint-free cloth.
Loss of shine
Use a specialized stainless steel polishing paste or soak in a mild vinegar solution followed by a thorough rinse and hand buffing.
Minor scratches
Regular use causes superficial scratches; avoid using abrasive scouring pads during cleaning to prevent deep surface damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Olympia Kelso Table Forks last, proper maintenance is essential. Upon first use, remove any packaging and wash the forks in a commercial dishwasher to remove manufacturing residues. For long-term care, it is recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to harsh acidic foods or salt, which can cause surface pitting over time. Always ensure the cutlery is dried immediately after the wash cycle completes; stacking wet forks can lead to water spots. For optimal appearance, regular buffing with a soft cloth will maintain the high-polish shine.
