What are the cleaning ceramic tableware? How to maintain ceramic tableware?
1. What are the main points of cleaning ceramic tableware
1.1. Be sure to wash ceramic tableware by hand, not dishwasher. If you really don’t want to wash by hand, remember to choose a dishwasher with a “porcelain and crystal” washing function, so as not to damage the ceramic tableware during washing.
1.2. Tableware with gold rims should not be placed in the microwave oven to avoid corrosion. Not only the appearance is affected, but also the safety during use cannot be guaranteed.
1.3. The pH value of washing must be between 11 and 11.5. Beyond this standard, too acid or too alkaline washing environment may damage the ceramic tableware. And when washing with water, the water temperature should not exceed 80 ° C.
1.4. The ceramic tableware that has just been used must not be thrown directly into the cold pool to save trouble. If the hot cup is directly immersed in cold water, it is easy to quickly change the temperature of the ceramic product and damage the porcelain.
1.5. It is difficult to avoid scratches when using ceramic products. If scratched, it can be slightly polished with toothpaste. If there are tea stains on the tableware and it is difficult to clean, you can use lemon juice or vinegar to clean.
2. How to maintain ceramic tableware
2.1. When cleaning ceramic tableware, use neutral detergent for kitchen and soft cloth or sponge to clean, do not use scouring pad or decontamination powder to wipe the porcelain, so as not to damage the porcelain pattern. And the porcelain is fragile and easy to break, so try not to overlap it directly when placing it, so as to avoid the surface damage caused by the friction between the porcelain. Handle with care to avoid hitting hard objects. If it is damaged or broken, please dispose of it and handle it carefully so as not to be cut.
2.2. Strong ultraviolet rays can easily cause the surface color of the porcelain to change and the glaze layer to fall off. Therefore, ceramic tableware should prevent and reduce the direct exposure of strong light. In addition, it should be cleaned as soon as possible after use, dried and stored, and do not soak in dirty water for a long time to avoid mildew and odor.
2.3. If the ceramic tableware with bright patterns is used, do not hold acidic substances such as vinegar, and beverages such as fruit juice, wine, and coffee for a long time. The longer the ceramic tableware holds acidic substances and the higher the temperature, the easier it is to dissolve lead and other substances that are harmful to the human body, which is equivalent to increasing the toxic and side effects of lead dissolution. It not only affects the appearance of the tableware itself, but also has a bad impact on the human body.
