HOW TO CARE FOR THE FLATWARE
Christofle offers specially-formulated cleaning products that will make silverware care easy and effective. After using each of these products, rinse in clean water and wash as usual.
SILVERWARE AND DISHWASHER
The dishwasher is an effective way to keep Christofle silverware in perfect condition, provided you follow these very simple precautions:
- Before the first use, wash your silverware by hand with a gentle liquid dish detergent without any synthetic perfume (citrus or lemons extracts are to be avoided).
- Use only washing powders without chlorine or citric acid (avoid gels and liquids that often contain chlorine as well as “lemon perfumes” containing citric acid. Avoid multi-purpose tabs).
- When filling your dishwasher with regenerating salt, avoid using silverware the first time.
- Follow the dishwasher’s instructions for water hardness: water with too much limestone is corrosive.
- Eggs, lemons, mustard, fish and some fruits and legumes can also cause silverware to turn yellow. Pre-washing by hand may be helpful after these uses.
Caution: do not dishwash old knives (made before 1968).
Ideally, open the dishwasher door halfway at the end of the cycle so that the dishes do not remain in an atmosphere saturated with steam, and wipe the cutlery if it is STILL wet. - Avoid the presence of crystal glasses which may also tarnish the silver.
Separate sterling silver and stainless steel cutlery: sterling silver does not mix well with other metals. Make two separate dishes or place them in distant separate flatware baskets.
