  • Question
    Will using using a dishwasher on the light setting work for my china?
    Community Answer
    About the only reason you couldn't use a dishwasher for fine china is if it has any metal trim or designs on it. In time, a dishwasher will take off the metal trim and/or designs. If your china is precious, you're still better off washing and drying by hand.

  • Question
    My dishwasher seems to remove the glossy feel from my fine bone china dinner set, and leaves them feeling dried out and a little chalky (the cutlery almost screeches). Is there a way to fix this?
    Community Answer
    It is probably not removing the gloss so much as leaving a deposit. Try lightly polishing your china with a paste of Bon Ami cleanser and water, being careful not to rub through the design. Do not use anything other than Bon Ami, as most cleansers are too harsh.
