Troubleshooting
Minor Scratches
While bone china is durable, minor scratches can occur over time from cutlery. These are typically superficial and do not affect the functionality of the dinnerware. To minimize, avoid harsh abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads.
Chipping
Although chip-resistant, extreme impact or sudden temperature changes can cause chipping. Handle with care, especially when stacking or placing items in sinks.
Stains
For stubborn food stains, a mild abrasive cleaner or a paste of baking soda and water can be used. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
