Hey there! As a porcelain dinnerware supplier, I've seen firsthand how important it is to keep your beautiful porcelain pieces in top - notch condition. Porcelain dinnerware not only adds a touch of elegance to your dining table but also lasts a long time if you take good care of it. In this blog, I'm gonna share some tried - and - true tips on how to clean porcelain dinnerware effectively.
Understanding Your Porcelain Dinnerware
Before we jump into the cleaning process, it's crucial to understand the nature of porcelain. Porcelain is a type of ceramic made from a special clay called kaolin, fired at high temperatures. This makes it strong and durable, but it can still be prone to scratches and stains if not handled properly.

Daily Cleaning
For everyday cleaning, the process is pretty straightforward. You'll want to start by rinsing your porcelain dinnerware as soon as possible after use. This helps prevent food particles from drying and becoming harder to remove later on.
Fill your sink or a basin with warm water and add a small amount of mild dish soap. I recommend using a gentle, non - abrasive dish soap to avoid scratching the porcelain surface. You can then use a soft sponge or a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the dinnerware. Make sure to get into all the nooks and crannies, especially around the edges and the patterns.
When it comes to scrubbing, be gentle. Porcelain is tough, but rough scrubbing can still cause scratches. If you encounter any stubborn food residue, you can soak the piece in the soapy water for a few minutes to loosen it up. Then, try gently scrubbing it again.
After washing, rinse the dinnerware thoroughly with clean water. Any leftover soap can leave a film on the porcelain, which can dull its shine over time. Once rinsed, dry the pieces with a soft, lint - free cloth. This helps prevent water spots from forming.
Removing Stains
Sometimes, despite our best efforts, stains can find their way onto our porcelain dinnerware. There are a few methods you can try to get rid of these stains.
Coffee and Tea Stains
Coffee and tea are common culprits for staining porcelain. To remove these stains, you can make a paste using baking soda and water. Apply the paste to the stained area and let it sit for about 15 - 20 minutes. Then, use a soft sponge to gently scrub the area. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
Another option is to use a mixture of vinegar and water. Fill a container with equal parts vinegar and water and soak the stained piece in it for a few hours. The acidic properties of vinegar can help break down the stains. After soaking, wash the piece as usual with mild dish soap and water.
Grease and Oil Stains
Grease and oil can be a bit trickier to remove. You can try using a degreaser specifically designed for kitchenware. Spray the degreaser on the stained area and let it sit for a few minutes. Then, use a soft sponge to scrub and rinse thoroughly.
If you don't have a degreaser on hand, you can also try using a small amount of baking powder. Make a paste with baking powder and water and apply it to the grease stain. Let it sit for a while before scrubbing gently.
Cleaning for Special Occasions
If you've used your porcelain dinnerware for a special occasion and there are multiple pieces with different types of stains, you might want to consider using a more comprehensive cleaning method.
You can use a dishwasher for some porcelain dinnerware, but it's important to read the manufacturer's instructions first. Some delicate or hand - painted pieces may not be suitable for the dishwasher as the high - pressure water and harsh detergents can damage the porcelain or the paint.
If you do decide to use the dishwasher, place the porcelain pieces in the top rack to avoid direct contact with the harsh water jets at the bottom. Use a mild dishwasher detergent and select a gentle cycle.
Before loading the dishwasher, make sure to scrape off any large food particles to prevent them from recirculating and potentially scratching the porcelain.
Long - Term Storage
Proper storage is also essential for maintaining the quality of your porcelain dinnerware. When not in use, store your pieces in a cool, dry place. Stack them carefully, using soft dividers like felt pads or paper to prevent scratching.
Our 20pcs Porcelain Dinnerware Set comes in a well - designed box that can also be used for storage. However, if you need to store them elsewhere, make sure they are protected from dust and potential impacts.
