Melamine Care

Handwashing:

While melamine is dishwasher safe, handwashing is recommended to maintain the longevity of the product. Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth to gently clean the melamine items.

Avoid Abrasive Cleaners:

Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as they can scratch the surface of the melamine and diminish its appearance.

Avoid Bleach and Harsh Chemicals:

Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals, as they can cause discoloration or damage to the melamine.

Avoid High Temperatures:

Melamine is not suitable for use in microwave ovens or conventional ovens. Avoid exposing melamine products to high temperatures, as they can warp or become damaged.

Stain Prevention:

To prevent staining, promptly clean any spills or stains from the surface of the melamine. Avoid leaving acidic or highly pigmented substances, such as tomato sauce or red wine, on the melamine for an extended period.

Avoid Sharp Objects:

Avoid using sharp knives or utensils directly on the surface of the melamine, as they can leave scratches. Instead, use plastic or wooden utensils to prevent damage.

Storage:

Store melamine products away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent warping or fading. Stack them carefully to avoid scratching the surface.

Regular Inspection:

Regularly inspect melamine products for any signs of damage, such as cracks, chips, or discoloration. If any damage is found, discontinue use to prevent potential contamination of food.

Replace When Necessary:

Over time, melamine products may show signs of wear and tear. If they become extensively scratched, discolored, or damaged, consider replacing them to maintain food safety and aesthetic appeal.
