Dishwasher - Washing China

China is normally safe to wash in your automatic dishwasher. However, antique, metal trimmed, hand painted and over-the-glaze patterned China is vulnerable to fading with high water temperatures and detergent solutions. Therefore, these often should not be washed in a dishwasher.

Washing China in a Dishwasher Tips

• We recommend using a Light or China & Crystal cycle for your fine China and crystal.
• If there is any question, check with the manufacturer of the China or test wash one piece daily for at least one month for comparison with the rest of the set.
• Be sure to load the China items securely to prevent movement during the wash cycle. This will help minimize chipping or breaking.
