Flatware - Machine washing
Puiforcat's flatware may be machine wahsed.
However, we recommend taking certain precautions and remaining attentive to cleaning products used:
– powder detergent is preferable to chlorinated liquids, and should be used sparingly;
– prior to each washing, be sure to separate silver cutlery from stainless steel items;
– to facilitate the flow of water on the blades, knives should be placed in the silverware basket with the blades facing downward;
– remove the cutlery at the end of the cycle or leave the dishwasher door cracked open to avoid condensation spots on the blades;
– to prevent scratches on the knives, be sure that they are separated and do not knock together. Nevertheless, it is natural for the silverware's finish to evolve with continued use and washing.

Hand washing is recommended for upkeep of the Puiforcat line of kitchen knives, to preserve the beauty of the exotic wood on the handle. Once rinsed, dry the knives with a soft, dry cloth.
The blades feature Evercut® technology, and thus never require sharpening.

Washing
Puiforcat porcelain dinner services may be machine washed without damage to the decorative designs. However, we recommend remaining attentive to cleaning products and using them sparingly.
Dinner services embellished with exceptional materials – such as the Art Deco service or the Cercle d’Argent collection – require particular care and must be washed exclusively by hand, using warm water and a soft sponge without any strong detergents.
Storage advice
When purchased, Puiforcat plates come with soft and resistant paper dividers; these dividers may be kept and used for storage to avoid plates knocking together.
