Q

What can I do if an odor remains in my tableware?

A

Cleaning suited to the material and thorough drying may reduce odors. If you suspect mold, stop using the piece as a precaution.

Earthenware and semi-porcelain readily absorb moisture and odors. First wash the piece with a soft sponge and mild dishwashing detergent, then rinse thoroughly.

Baking soda, vinegar or kitchen bleach may be unsuitable for some clay bodies, glazes or decorations. Never mix cleaning agents. Read the cleaner's label and your tableware's care instructions. If you are unsure, contact us before using a cleaner.

Wipe away excess water after washing, then leave the piece unstacked in a well-ventilated place for at least half a day, or longer as needed, until completely dry before storing.
