CARE GUIDE
Taking good care of your belongings makes good sense. It prolongs their lifespan, which is good for
your finances as well as the planet. Follow our care guide and keep your things beautiful and usable
for many years to come.
Dinnerware - stoneware & porcelain
Stoneware and porcelain are sturdy materials burned at high temperatures. The higher the temperature,
the sturdier it gets – and our stoneware and porcelain are burned at very high temperatures above
1200° C. As long as you take certain precautions, our stoneware and porcelain are dishwasher, oven
and microwave safe and can also go in the freezer. But never put normal stoneware and porcelain into
a preheated oven or directly from a warm oven onto a cool tabletop. Big temperature differences might
cause it to crack and break, which is why it should always be heated up and cooled down slowly.
Glass – sodaglass
Our ordinary glasses are made of soda glass, which is easy to care for. Just follow our care guide –
and make sure not to drop them on the floor – and your glasses will stay beautiful and usable for many
years. You can easily wash your soda glasses together with dishes and cutlery, as long as you choose
a short cycle with temperatures below 55° C. Apart from that, we recommend that you follow our care
guide for crystal glass.
Cutlery - stainless steel
All our cutleries are made from stainless steel. Stainless steel is a very robust material, which is easy to
care for. You should, however, always follow our care guide, since stainless steel should maybe rather
be called rust-resistant steel, because all steel – also stainless steel – can rust, if it is not treated correctly.
Cutlery should always be rinsed or washed immediately after use, since acid from certain foods can
damage it – but never let it soak. If certain measures are taken, all our cutleries are dishwasher safe.
Make sure to use dishwasher detergent and rinse aid from the same brand and to dose it correctly – it
must not contain chlorine. Always place the knives in a separate dishwasher basket, since the blades are
made from less rust resistant steel than the rest of the cutlery. Do not overload the dishwasher, as cutlery
needs proper space in order to be thoroughly washed and rinsed. As soon as the wash is completed,
you should open the dishwasher door to let the moisture out. Rust is tiny rust particles that are being
swirled around in the dishwasher during wash cycles and thereby end up on cutlery and other things
made from steel.
