1.Washing
- Dishwasher: Our stoneware ceramic products are dishwasher safe. However, to preserve their beauty and durability, we recommend using a gentle cycle.
- Hand Washing: For optimal care, hand wash with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive sponges that could scratch the surface.
2. Microwave and Oven
- Microwave: Our products are microwave safe. Ensure the item has no cracks or chips before placing it in the microwave, as rapid heating could worsen the damage.
- Oven: Our products can be used in the oven up to a temperature of 180°C (350°F). Avoid extreme thermal shocks (e.g., moving directly from the refrigerator to a hot oven), as this could cause breakage.
3. Storage
- Stacking: When stacking, place a soft cloth or piece of paper between items to prevent scratches or damage to the glaze.
- Environment: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which could alter the color of the glaze.
4. Maintenance
- Repairs: If an item gets chipped or cracked, avoid using it for food. It can still be used as decoration. Do not attempt to repair cracks or chips with common glues, as they may not be food-safe.
- Polishing: To maintain the shine of the glaze, you can polish your items with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
5. Avoiding Impact
- While ceramic is durable, it can break if subjected to knocks or falls. Handle with care, especially during washing and handling.
6. Kitchen Utensils
- Cutlery and Utensils: Preferably use wooden, plastic, or silicone cutlery and utensils to avoid scratching the surface of ceramic items.
7. Watercolor Tools in Ceramic
- Usage: After use, make sure to thoroughly clean the watercolor tools in ceramic with warm water. Avoid letting dried colors accumulate on the surfaces.
- Storage: Store the palettes and tools in a dry and clean place. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mold formation.
8. Additional Tips
- Stain Treatment: To remove stubborn stains, you can use a mixture of baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stain, let it sit for a few minutes, then rinse well.
- Stain Prevention: After using highly colored foods or beverages (like tea or coffee), rinse the item immediately to prevent staining.
