 | Always rinse your china as soon as possible after a meal. Food remnants that are left on the china can cause discoloration of sensitive patterns. China is particularly sensitive to food containing strong acids, such as apples or lemons. |
| Remove food that has burned onto your ovenproof dishes by soaking them in water mixed with washing-up liquid. After approx. half an hour you can wash off the remnants. Never use scouring agents,steel wool,etc.,as this destroys the glaze, making the china worn and matt. |
| Black streaks on your plates are metal from stainless steel, especially from your cutlery. Always use rinsing or surfaceactive agents if you use a dishwasher, asthis makes the china less susceptible to metal markings. |
| Remove stains left by coffee or tea, for example, by adding approx. 2-3 tbsp citric acid to the detergent in your dishwasher. If the stain is tougher you can blend dishwasher detergent with a special detergent for white goods in hot water (1/2 dl powder per litre of water). Pour the solution into the item that is stained and leave to stand for a couple of hours.Then wash and rinse well. |
| Do not slide the plates on top of one another when placing them in your kitchen cupboard – this is the major cause of cracks in the glaze. Choose plates with gentle, sloping base rings, and use rinsing or surface-active agents when using a dishwasher, as this gives the items a smoother surface and reduces the risk of surface damage. |
| Remove the grey coating that can appear on your china with ascorbic acid, citric acid or similar. The most common reason for such a coating is carbonates in the water, which can dry onto the surface of the china and are difficult to wash off. |
| Most china services can be washed in a dishwasher, but if you want to keep them in good condition for as long as possible you should use a rinsing or surface-active agent. This reduces the friction, and you avoid unsightly scratches on your plates when you stack them on top of one another. |
| Never heat your china in a microwave if it has a pattern that contains any kind of metal.The metal can react when heated in a microwave by sparkling and flashing. |
