How to care for your dinner set

Firstly, dropping your $26 correlle plate is probably a bad idea. You’ll have a mess to clean up and you won’t have pretty White Plain Plates anymore for your food. If you do drop it, there’s really nothing we can do unless you somehow manage to stick it back together and have it looking like the day you bought it. Well, then kudos to you! What we can do is offer you a discount code to use on your next purchase.

All jokes aside, here are some tips to make sure your dinnerware looks as good as the day you bought it.

If using a dishwasher, check if your dinnerware is dishwasher friendly

If soft metals (gold, silver, etc) are a part of the design, lay a towel on the bottom of your sink, this will prevent scratching when the accidental bump or clang occurs. Also, wash with a soft sponge, abrasive sponges may scratch or even take off some material when you’re scrubbing.

As a side note, should you find yourself purchasing melamine dinnerware, fading over time is normal and is no reason for alarm. A good washing detergent with a low PH value can slow down this process, but know that fading is inevitable.

Is porcelain or ceramic better for dishes?

Both are very durable materials that make for good dishes. The methods of preparation and firing procedures are very different. As a result, these materials will be able to hold certain designs better than the other. In general, porcelain is able to incorporate and retain, thin, translucent designs while ceramic is incapable of doing this.
