How Do You Care For Cutlery With Pearl Handles?
• Avoid placing the cutlery with pearl handles into a dishwasher. The handles are not dishwasher-proof. Never use products that contain ammonia. These will damage the pearl. Check the ingredients of your washing or cleaning solutions. • Wash pearl cutlery using warm water and a mild soap. A plant-based detergent or one based on castile soap are ideal. • Do not immerse pearl cutlery into the water completely. Instead, wash the cutlery’s metallic end and try to avoid placing the handle join into the water. The reason for this is that many pearl cutlery joins use water-based glue and the glue will weaken in the water, causing it to split and crack. • Rinse with care. Dry immediately using a soft cloth. Towelling tea towels are the best. If you need to clean the handles of the pearl cutlery, see Clean Mother of Pearl (Nacre).
