| Solution: |
| Fine china and crystal require special care and storage, well I have some easy ideas to help you with yours. |
| |
|
| 1.
Extreme temperatures will weaken china and crystal. Don't put china in the microwave or fridge. If you need to store or heat something, transfer it to everyday dishes. |
| |
| 2.
As for crystal, never fill with ice and then add water, always pour water and add ice if needed. This will temper the crystal to the temperature change. |
| |
| 3.
Never let food sit on china for a long period of time the acid in foods will eat away at the glazing. |
| |
| 4.
Even if you think its dishwasher safe, always hand wash your china and crystal. Use warm soapy water in a sink lined with a towel or placemat. |
| |
| 5.
For faster drying, and a streak free shine, add a cup of white vinegar to the rinse water. |
| |
| 6.
When storing, always place crystal upright sitting on their stems so you don't chip the rims. |
| |
| 7.
As for china, put a piece of padding between pieces to prevent scratching. Use a paper towel, a piece of felt or a coffee filter. |
| |
| 8.
Don't be tempted to stack your china too high, a good rule of thumb is no more than five plates or two cups high. Stacked higher the weight of the upper pieces will damage those on the bottom. |
