Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Wash in warm soapy water or run through the dishwasher to remove any manufacturing residue.
Daily cleaning: Dishwasher safe. Place securely in the dishwasher, avoiding contact with other items that might cause chipping. For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge.
Microwave use: Microwave safe for reheating drinks. Avoid prolonged high-temperature use and always ensure the handle is positioned away from the microwave's hot spots.
Avoiding damage: Whilst bone china is remarkably strong, avoid sudden temperature changes (don't pour boiling water into a cold mug from the fridge). Don't use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that might scratch the surface.
Pattern care: The pattern is fired at high temperatures and won't fade with normal use. However, for longest life, avoid harsh dishwasher detergents with bleach and extremely hot dishwasher cycles above 65°C.
Storage: Store in a cupboard where the mug won't be knocked or chipped. The fine rim is the most delicate part - take care when stacking or storing near other items.
Stain removal: For tea or coffee stains, soak in a solution of bicarbonate of soda and warm water, or use a specialist china cleaner. Avoid harsh bleach-based products.
