Most china manufacturers provide cleaning instructions with their china. If you have recently bought a set of china, you should be able to find these instructions with the packaging. Also, simple cleaning guidelines can usually be found on the back of your china plates. Be sure to follow the tips provided by your specific manufacturer because their type of china may differ slightly from most fine chinas and will need more specific care.
In general, fine china is dishwasher safe. Here are some things to consider if you decide to use a dishwasher:
Hand washing is another option for cleaning your china. Here are some tips for properly handling and cleaning your china without a dishwasher:
In all cases, whether you are washing by hand or using a dishwasher, be sure that you don't expose your dishes to sudden changes in temperature, otherwise your china may crack or break. For example, a cup filled with ice should not be dipped into hot water and a plate with hot food on it should not be put directly into the freezer.
If your fine china has a metal rim (silver or gold), don't let it get too hot in the washing process, and don't handle it before it is cooled. High temperatures may soften the rim; handling it while it is hot could lead to warping or fingerprints in the metal.
As a general rule, wash your china as soon as possible, especially if you have used it for coffee, tea, or acidic foods that could stain the china.
