General Care

Graceware melamine products should be handled like any fine dinnerware and are top rack dishwasher safe.

Cleaning melamine products as soon as possible will help avoid destaining procedures and protein build-up.

Immediately remove any damaged or chipped melamine products from operational use.

To remove sticker residue, we recommend an oil-based lubricant or liquid vegetable oil.

Do not expose any melamine products to heat in excess of 80°C or direct flame.

To avoid cracking and blistering from the heat, do not use melamine products in ovens or microwaves.

Melamine is not recommended for use with heat lamps, conveyor belts, or plate warmers.

To avoid chipping and scratching, do not strike melamine products with or on any hard surface while attempting to remove excess food.

Dishwashing Care

Wash melamine products as soon as possible to avoid destaining procedures.

To prevent chipping and scratching, do not overload your dishwashing rack.

Do not use chlorine bleach or chlorine-based sanitizing solutions when caring for melamine products.

Destaining Procedures

To prevent staining and to maintain luster, it is recommended to periodically presoak melamine products before dishwashing.

Sponges or woven plastic pads are recommended for cleaning, such as 3M’s Scotch-Brite™.

Do not use harsh or abrasive scouring products such as steel wool or any metal pads to remove food or stains.

Do not use chlorine bleach or chlorine-based sanitizing solutions when caring for melamine products.
