Dishes not suitable for dishwasher use
Some fragile materials or delicate decorations must absolutely be hand-washed to preserve their beauty:
-
Crystal: it quickly loses its shine and can crack.
-
Metal or silver plates: they oxidize and turn black.
-
Hand-decorated or gilded plates: their finishes disappear with repeated washing.
-
Melamine: a hard plastic that deforms with heat and sometimes releases harmful substances.
👉 Tip: If yourhigh-end plateis hand-painted or has gilding, it is best to clean it gently by hand.
