Recommendations to take the best out of your MESA fine stoneware

Cleaning

Storage

  •  Before usage, inspect all pieces and wash thoroughly before utilization.
  •  Do not use abrasive detergents and don’t apply the detergents directly on the ceramic’s surfaces.
  • Use appropriate detergent quantities as well as detergents indicated for ceramics.
  • Clean and remove leftovers after using, wash within 30-40 minutes of use.
  • To avoid harsh metal marking use plastic/silicone spatulas on the pieces.
  • When using a dishwasher, make sure to clean it frequently so there’s no limescale build up that may harm ceramic pieces.
  • Let the items fully dry before stacking or putting them away.
  • Avoid pilling cutlery on top of the ceramics, especially when cleaning.
  • Preferably store the pieces on safe spaces, either stainless steel or with a shelf mat, to avoid metal marking.
  • Keep ceramics, glassware and metals separate.
  • Do not store the pieces while wet.
  • Do not stack items not designed for it and don’t over stack so there’s no scratching due to weight.
  • Do not stack with products from other suppliers.
