I have been asked many times, How do I care for my CHINA?
1- NEVER LEAVE YOUR CHINA IN WATER....
The reason- Bone china can break down from being submerged for long periods of time in water.
It also can fade and loose it's wonderful color depth.
2- LINE YOUR SINK WITH CLOTH BEFORE WASHING....
The reason- Bone china usually has gold guild trim, this will flake off unless you take care in the
way you handle your china. As well, why a risk with having your RARE EXPENSIVE items chipped?
3-USE GENTLE LIQUID DISH DETERGENT.....
The Reason- Harsh detergents can DAMAGE your bone china finish, use a little bit of liquid
NOT a lot of it, just enough to get your piece clean. MAKE SURE you do not create a "SLIPPERY" sink environment with your soap.
4-KEEP BONE CHINA OUT OF THE OVEN...........
The reason- This can cause cracking, fine cracking
5- KEEP BONE CHINA OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT
The reason- This can cause fading over time and cracking of your bone china.
6-DO NOT PUT BONE CHINA IN DISHWASHERS
The reason- This causes fading of your pattern, and can break down your china
7-DO NOT USE BONE CHINA IN OVEN, OR MICROWAVE
The reason- There is usually gold trim on your bone china this can cause fires.
Also heating causes cracking of your pieces.
China is a hard substance, but many people tend to think it is as strong as the man of steel, it is not. It is durable if you treat it right~!
Here is a list of how to protect, and preserve your China pieces for future generations.....
