With a little care, Wedgwood china can be handed down for generations
If you spent money on a set of Wedgwood china, you've made an in investment worth protecting. This high-class china has a long history dating back over 250 years when Josiah Wedgwood created the company in 1759. His high quality product received recognition from the Queen of England in 1765 and a line of earthenware was dubbed "Queens Ware." His popularity grew from there. This highly praised durable china can be passed down for generations if it's maintained and cleaned properly.
Instructions
1. Wash the china in warm soapy water with dish soap and a soft clean cloth or sponge. Rinse the dishes well so as not to leave behind any residue that may be harder to remove later. Use a clean soft dry towel to hand dry each piece. Or set them in a dish drainer carefully with space in between each piece to avoid chipping the china.
2. Make a paste of baking soda and water. Apply it to an area with stubborn food residue using a clean cloth. Scrub the area gently and rinse well with warm running water.
3. Soak the china in warm soapy water to allow any food and debris to loosen its grip before washing.
4. Rinse the china free of all food and debris before placing it into the dishwasher. Wedgwood recommends using Cascade Liquid Gel or Cascade Lemon Powder (7% phosphate). Select the fine china setting on your dishwasher or set it for air dry and open up the door when the cycle is finished to allow the dishes to dry with some cooler air.
5. Soak your china in a sink full of warm soapy water and add a cup of white vinegar to help eliminate hard water stains. Allow the china to soak for at least 15 minutes before rinsing them.
