5. Troubleshooting
While the Amazon Basics Dinnerware Set is designed for durability, occasional issues may arise. Here are some common concerns and their resolutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Chipping or Cracking | Impact with hard surfaces, extreme temperature changes, improper stacking. | Handle with care. Avoid sudden temperature shifts (e.g., hot from oven directly to cold water). Stack carefully, possibly with protective layers. Replace chipped or cracked pieces to prevent injury. |
| Scratches on Surface | Use of abrasive cleaning tools, contact with metal utensils. | Use soft sponges or cloths for cleaning. Avoid metal scouring pads. While porcelain is durable, metal utensils can leave marks; these are often metal deposits and can sometimes be removed with a porcelain cleaner. |
| Food Stains | Prolonged contact with highly pigmented foods (e.g., tomato sauce, turmeric). | Wash dishes promptly after use. For stubborn stains, soak in warm soapy water or use a mild bleach solution (if safe for porcelain, check product details) for a short period, then wash thoroughly. |
