Care and maintenance of sterling silver cutlery
Christofle’s flatware is generally dishwasher safe, except for pieces with gold gilding. However, some detergents can be harsh on your flatware. If you don’t wash your silverware immediately after use, it’s best to rinse them with lukewarm water.
Using the dishwasher is a great way to keep your Christofle silverware clean and in perfect condition, just remember these tips:
- Before first use, wash your silverware by hand with mild dishwashing liquid that does not contain synthetic fragrances.
- Avoid citrus or lemon-scented soaps.
- Use washing powders without chlorine or citric acid; avoid gels and liquids that may contain chlorine or lemon perfumes.ย Avoid multifunction tablets.
- If using a dishwasher, do not put silverware in the dishwasher during the first use of regenerating salt.
- Follow the dishwasherโs instructions for water hardness as excessively hard water can be corrosive.
- Foods like eggs, lemon, mustard, fish, some fruits, and legumes can cause silverware to tarnish. Pre-washing by hand may help.
- After the dishwasher cycle, partially open the door to let the dishes dry and wipe the silverware if still damp.
- Keep crystal glasses separate from silverware to prevent tarnishing.
- Important: Separate silver cutlery from stainless steel. Run two separate cycles in the dishwasher or place them far apart in the cutlery basket.
