Some dishes and cutlery require special care and maintenance, especially if they're made of delicate materials.
While cupronickel cutlery can last for decades, it also requires special care, especially when you clean it.
Here are a few tips on how to do it right.
Rinse with warm water
Begin by rinsing the cutlery under warm running water to remove any loose food particles or debris.
Use mild dish soap
Apply a small amount of mild dish soap to a soft sponge or cloth.
Gently scrub the cupronickel cutlery, paying attention to any stained or tarnished areas.
Avoid abrasive materials
Do not use abrasive scrubbers or harsh cleaning agents, as they can scratch or damage the cupronickel surface.
Rinse thoroughly
After cleaning, rinse the cutlery thoroughly with warm water to remove any soap residue.
Dry with a soft cloth
Use a soft, lint-free cloth to dry the cupronickel cutlery completely. This helps prevent water spots or tarnish from forming.
Polish if desired
If you want to restore shine to the cupronickel cutlery, you can use a specialized metal polish suitable for cupronickel.
Follow the instructions on the polish and use a soft cloth to gently buff the cutlery.
Store properly
Once the cutlery is clean and dry, store it in a dry and clean place, away from moisture or humidity.
Consider using a lined drawer or a protective case to prevent scratches and tarnishing.
