Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your stoneware set remains in pristine condition, follow these care guidelines:
- Initial Cleaning: Wash the set with warm water and mild detergent before the first use.
- Dishwasher Use: You can use standard dishwasher cycles, but ensure the pieces are spaced correctly to avoid chips from rubbing against other cutlery.
- Manual Care: While dishwasher safe, hand washing with soft sponges or cloths is recommended to maintain the vibrancy of the hand-painted checked pattern over time.
- Avoid Abrasives: Never use steel wool or harsh abrasive scrubbers, as these can scratch the ceramic glaze and dull the hand-painted detailing.
- Microwave Use: The cups are safe for microwave use; however, avoid extreme, immediate temperature changes (such as taking a cup directly from the freezer to the microwave) to prevent thermal shock.
