Care & Maintenance
Daily Cleaning Wipe the smooth fireclay surface with a soft sponge or microfiber cloth using mild dish soap and warm water after each use.
Stain Prevention Remove stubborn coffee or food residues promptly by wiping them away from the non-porous glazed finish without needing harsh abrasives.
Heat Management Utilize standard hot pads or trivets for extreme temperatures exceeding 350 degrees Fahrenheit to protect the integrity of the glaze over time.
Mineral Removal Clear away occasional hard water spots using a mild solution of equal parts white vinegar and water, followed by a thorough rinse.
Surface Protection Avoid using steel wool or harsh scouring pads, which can dull the glossy shine of the fireclay glaze over extended periods.
