Maintenance
Your china deserves the best care you can give it. Although many patterns
are advertised as dishwasher safe, hand washing is always the safest way
to wash your dishes. Hand washing is a good precaution against scratching,
chipping, abrading, cracking, and the frequent wear and tear of a
dishwasher.
Suggestions for Hand Washing
- Use a plastic basin as a cushion against a hard metal sink
- Don't overload the basin or sink
- Use a mild liquid detergent, and avoid abrasive cleaners
- Don't let you china sit in the sink or basin for a long period of time
Suggestions for Dishwashing
- Wash or rinse by hand promptly after use.
- Load the dishwasher so that no two pieces touch
- this will help
prevent chipping or cracking.
- Never let your china run through a high heat drying cycle.
- Always use the gentlest cycle with a small amount of
high-quality
detergent.
- Avoid detergents with lemon or other acidic agents.
- Allow the dishes to cool to room temperature before unloading the
dishwasher.
Additional Suggestions
- Sometimes, brown
stains inside coffee and tea cups may occur. This is due to a reaction
between inadequate dishwashing powder and coffee or tea.
To remove them,
simply use Sodium bicarbonate (Baking Soda) or Natron.
- Avoid placing your Gien china in contact with a direct flame, and do not
subject it to extreme temperature changes. Cracks in the glazing may result, allowing water to penetrate.
- Do not soak your service in water for extended periods.
- Wash your service soon after exposure to acidic foods such as fruit
juices, vinegar, etc.
- Never use harsh heavy duty detergents, steel wool or scouring powders.
