A House Is Not Home Without Dog White Coffee Mug

Instructions for Preserving Ceramic Mugs

Ceramic mugs are generally dishwasher and microwave safe, but there are a few things to keep in mind to ensure they last a long time:

Before first use

• Wash the mug with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly.

For everyday use

• Microwaving: Most ceramic mugs are microwave-safe, but double-check the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid overheating the mug, especially if it has a design or metallic rim.
• Dishwashing: Most ceramic mugs are dishwasher-safe, but handwashing is recommended to prevent chipping and fading, especially for delicate designs.
• Stains: For stubborn stains, soak the mug in warm soapy water or a vinegar solution for a few minutes before washing.
• Temperature changes: Avoid extreme temperature changes. Don't pour boiling hot liquid into a cold mug, and vice versa. This can cause the mug to crack.

General care

• Don't use abrasive cleaners or sponges on the mug, as they can scratch the surface.
• Let the mug cool completely before washing or stacking.
• Store mugs in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in cabinets with strong odors, as ceramic can absorb smells.
