Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Karma Melamine Dinner Plates.
- Dishwasher Safe: These plates are safe for cleaning in the dishwasher. For best results and to preserve the finish, place them on the top rack.
- Hand Washing: If hand washing, use a soft sponge or cloth with mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the surface.
- Do Not Microwave: Melamine is not microwave safe. Heating melamine in a microwave can cause the material to degrade and potentially leach chemicals into food.
- Avoid Oven Use: Do not use these plates in conventional ovens or under broilers.
- Storage: Stack plates carefully to prevent scratching the decorative surface.

Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common concerns regarding melamine dinnerware:
- Chipping/Cracking: While melamine is durable, it is not entirely unbreakable. Dropping plates on hard surfaces from a significant height can cause chipping or cracking. Handle with care.
- Stains: Certain foods, especially those with strong pigments like tomato sauce or turmeric, may cause staining over time. To minimize staining, rinse plates promptly after use and wash them thoroughly. For stubborn stains, a baking soda paste can sometimes help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
- Loss of Sheen: Prolonged exposure to high temperatures in dishwashers or harsh detergents can dull the glossy finish. Using the top rack of the dishwasher and mild detergents is recommended.
