Vigorous use of metal cutlery is liable to leave slight markings on your dinnerware. To avoid this, we recommend using a lighter touch, as well as high-quality flatware; ideally, 18/10 stainless steel. If markings do occur, we recommend washing your dinnerware soon after a meal. Though not all markings will come out, set-in markings may be able to be removed by washing the dinnerware with a gentle, mildly abrasive household cleaner, or, alternately, a simple paste of baking soda and water.
