4. Maintenance and Care
- Regular Cleaning: Wash the cup and tray after each use with warm water and mild dish soap.
- Drying: Always dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth immediately after washing to prevent water spots and maintain the shine of the stainless steel.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the stainless steel and damage the hammered finish.
- Storage: Store in a dry place when not in use.
5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Water spots or streaks | Improper drying; hard water residue. | Dry immediately and thoroughly with a soft cloth after washing. For stubborn spots, use a stainless steel cleaner or a solution of vinegar and water, then rinse and dry. |
| Dull appearance | Residue buildup; lack of polishing. | Ensure thorough cleaning. Polish with a soft cloth and a stainless steel polish designed for kitchenware. |
| Minor scratches | Contact with abrasive materials. | Stainless steel is durable but can scratch. Avoid abrasive cleaners and sharp objects. Minor scratches are often cosmetic and do not affect functionality. |
