Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your mug retains its luster, adhere to the following care guidelines:
- Hand Wash Only: Use mild liquid detergent and a soft sponge. Never submerge in a dishwasher, as high-heat cycles and abrasive detergents will damage the gold accents.
- Avoid Microwaves: Due to the metallic gold trim, this mug is strictly not microwave safe. Arcing can occur, leading to damage of both the mug and the appliance.
- Storage: Store in a stable cabinet. If stacking, use a protective felt pad between mugs to avoid scratching the surface of the underlying piece.
- Handling: When washing, remove jewelry such as rings that may cause surface scratches on the glazed finish.
