Ceramic Dinnerware
Ceramic dinnerware, including Fortaluxe®, Vitraluxe®, TechnoCeram, bone china, and porcelain, requires proper care to retain its beauty and durability throughout its service life.
First Use
Handling
- After clearing tables, immediately remove food remnants from dinnerware with a soft dish cloth or sponge
- Avoid using abrasive materials (steel wool, metal scrapers, scouring pads) to remove debris
Pre-Soaking
- Soak in 140-160ºF water with chlorine-free, acid-free, non-abrasive detergent for 10-20 minutes
Washing
- Wash as soon as possible, using a peg rack to maximize water contact with dishware
- Utilize appropriately-sized glass racks for coffee and bouillon cups to avoid breakage
- Dinnerware is safe for both high and low temperature commercial dish machines unless otherwise noted
Drying
- After washing, remove residual water by drying with a soft cloth or towel before storing
Best Practices
- Do not microwave or heat over 400ºF
- Avoid abrupt temperature changes, due to thermal shock from hot-to-cold or cold-to-hot, to reduce the risk of cracking and breakage
- Wash in dish machine for best cleaning results
- Soak in a 10% oxygenated bleach/water solution for 8-24 hours to remove stains
- Consult your chemical supplier to ensure use of recommended products for best results with your dishwasher and water conditions
