Care of Cutlery

Studio William Welch Ltd would like to extend our thanks for choosing one of our designs. We would like to share some tips and information about caring for your product!

This Product is made from finest Stainless steel, the highest quality stainless steel.

Dishwasher safe – please do NOT use detergents that have a Lemon base to them. The acidity causes discolouring both in Stainless and Glass.

After the dishwasher wash-cycle, dry off the knife blades with a cloth. The steel of the knives is made of a different stainless steel and is prone to corrosion or rust marks.

Avoid using the rinse & hold cycle.

Place handles down into the basket this helps reduce scratching.

Do not mix Silver/Silver Plate items with Stainless Steel in the dishwasher, as it will leave marks on the silverware.

Hand wash – Wash and dry as soon as possible. It is not recommended to soak and air dry. Common Causes of markings

Rust marks – Stainless steel cannot rust, but can receive marks from other items in the sink or dishwasher.

Rainbows – Detergents can cause rainbows if not rinsed off, or your flatware air-dries. Hot fat can also cause this blemish to occur and also prolonged contact with vinegar, wine or citrus juices.

Chalking- Due to un-softened water and being left on the flatware to dry, leaving chalky streaks.

Pitting – Knifes are predominantly affected by this because the blade is manufactured by steel which is hardened. After a period of time salt and food acids can cause pit marks.

Cleaning – A non-abrasive metal polish can be gently applied using a soft lint cloth. This will remove many of the marks listed.
