1. Handle with Care
Porcelain is delicate and can chip or crack if not handled properly. Always lift pieces from underneath, supporting their weight evenly. Avoid bumping them against each other or hard surfaces when setting the table or putting them away.
2. Proper Storage
When not in use, store your porcelain tableware carefully. Use soft fabric or felt separators to prevent direct contact between pieces, which can cause scratches and chips. If space allows, consider using a plate rack to avoid stacking, which can lead to breakage.

3. Temperature Sensitivity
Porcelain is sensitive to extreme temperature changes. To avoid thermal shock, do not transfer porcelain directly from the refrigerator to a hot oven or vice versa. Allow your pieces to acclimate to room temperature before exposing them to significant temperature variations.
4. Hand Washing Recommended
While some porcelain may be labeled as dishwasher-safe, hand washing is the best way to ensure longevity. Use a mild, non-abrasive dish soap and warm water. Gently scrub with a soft sponge or cloth, avoiding abrasive pads that can damage the glaze. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft, lint-free towel.
5. Tackling Stubborn Stains
For stubborn stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stained area, and gently rub with a soft cloth. Rinse thoroughly afterward. Always test this method on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it does not affect the finish.
6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
Harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners can damage the glaze and finish of your porcelain. Stick to mild, non-abrasive cleaning agents to maintain the integrity of your tableware.
7. Mindful Usage
While porcelain is designed for everyday use, be cautious with certain activities. Avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the surface, and refrain from cutting or chopping directly on porcelain surfaces to prevent damage to the glaze.
8. Regular Inspections
Periodically inspect your porcelain tableware for any signs of wear, chips, or cracks. Early detection of minor issues can prevent them from worsening and help maintain the beauty and functionality of your pieces.
Conclusion
By following these care and maintenance tips, you can ensure that your PATRA porcelain tableware remains as stunning as the day you first welcomed it into your home. With a little extra attention, you can enjoy your elegant tableware for generations, enhancing your dining experience and preserving its value over time.
