Posting date: 11th March 2008 17:49
These are guidelines, published by Elia on how to care for your Elia Cutlery
CARING FOR YOUR ELIA CUTLERY
DO
- Follow the instructions that come with your dishwasher
- Remove and hand-dry the cutlery with a soft cloth as soon as the wash cycle has finished
- Load knives with the blades pointing downwards for safety
DON’T
- Use a rinse-and-hold cycle – cutlery left in a damp atmosphere can become stained or damaged
- Mix silver plated and stainless steel items in the same cycle
- Use wire wool or abrasive cleaners, which may scratch the stainless steel
DO
- Use a liquid detergent or cream, not powder
- Rinse or wash stainless steel cutlery after use – prolonged contact with salt, vinegar, egg, tomato sauce, acid fruits, determents or some of the mineral salt in tap water can cause pitting and staining
- Take special care with knives. The blades have a higher carbon content, which creates a sharper cutting edge but is also more prone to corrosion. Polish away any stains with a stainless steel polish
DON’T
- eave stainless steel cutlery to soak or store it in damp conditions as this may cause staining and require polishing
