Maintenance and Care
Proper care will preserve the appearance and extend the life of your Winco Elegance Demitasse Spoon Set.
Washing Instructions:
- Dishwasher Safe: The spoons are approved for use in both commercial and residential dishwashers.
- Hand Washing: For best results and to maintain the mirror finish, hand washing is recommended. Use a soft sponge or cloth with mild dish soap.
- Drying: Always dry the spoons immediately after washing to prevent water spots, especially in hard water areas.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the surface and dull the finish.
- Storage: Store spoons in a dry place to prevent moisture buildup.
Troubleshooting
Most issues with stainless steel flatware can be resolved with proper cleaning and care.
- Water Spots: If water spots appear, they are usually caused by mineral deposits from hard water. Rewash and dry immediately, or use a vinegar solution (1 part white vinegar to 9 parts water) for a final rinse, then dry.
- Dull Finish: A dull finish can result from improper drying or exposure to certain chemicals. Ensure thorough drying after each wash. For stubborn dullness, a stainless steel polish can be used sparingly.
- Pitting or Corrosion: While 18/0 stainless steel is highly resistant, prolonged exposure to acidic foods, harsh detergents, or high humidity can cause pitting. Rinse spoons promptly after use, especially after contact with acidic foods.
