How to Clean China
China is one of the most popular and versatile choices for dinnerware and servingware. Varieties include fine china, bone china, porcelain, and ceramic dishware.
Tips On Cleaning China
Clean china immediately after use to reduce staining and protein build-up.
Heavy protein build-up (like dry eggs) will tempt people to use a more heavy-duty scouring pad than they should, which will scrub the glaze off china.
Only use light-duty, non-abrasive scouring pads that won’t leave scratches or scuffs.
Rinse with hot water.
Air-dry in a drying rack.
Avoid drying with a soft towel since towels can carry bacteria.
