Tableware & Homeware Care Guide
Beauty in Use.
We believe the true beauty of an object is revealed through daily use and lasting companionship. Every Sundayware piece is durably crafted with artisanal uniqueness, designed to seamlessly integrate into your everyday rituals. By following these simple care tips, you can ensure your collection retains its warmth and tactile beauty for many years to come.
First things first.
Congratulations on beginning your new journey with Sundayware! Before they grace your table, we recommend hand-washing your new pieces with warm, soapy water to remove any dust or debris from their journey to your home. Let them start their new life in your kitchen at their very best.
CERAMIC CARE
Care designed around each piece.
Ceramic care requirements vary by product. Use a dishwasher or microwave only when the individual product page confirms that the item is suitable. Products with metallic accents must not be microwaved. Only place a ceramic product in the oven when it is explicitly labeled Oven-Safe, and always avoid sudden temperature changes. Semi-matte surfaces may occasionally show superficial flatware marks, which can often be removed gently with a baking-soda-and-water paste.
PRO TIPS
—
For dishwasher-safe pieces: Avoid overfilling the dishwasher and provide space between items to reduce the risk of chipping.
—
Appreciate the Raw Base: Select Sundayware collections feature an intentionally unglazed stoneware base, a design detail that celebrates the natural, earthy origin of the piece. If these specific items come into contact with staining substances like coffee or red wine, please clean them promptly to maintain their organic look.
—
Remove markings: To lift surface marks, apply a paste of baking soda and water. Scrub gently for a few seconds, rinse with soapy water, and your pieces will be good as new.
Ceramic Decor & Objects
Artisanal Objects, Crafted for Calm.
More than mere decoration, Sundayware decor pieces are artistic expressions crafted to bring a sense of calm to your sanctuary. Featuring delicate textures and soulful matte finishes, these artisanal objects thrive on gentle care. A simple, mindful cleaning ritual will preserve their original allure, ensuring they remain timeless centerpieces in your home for years to come.
PRO TIPS
—
Mindful Dusting: For matte or textured objects, we recommend hand dusting with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid chemical sprays that may alter the delicate surface finish.
—
Gentle Washing: If a deeper clean is needed, wipe gently with a damp, soft cloth. Do not soak decorative objects, as porous clays may absorb excess moisture.
—
Avoid Heat: Unlike our dinnerware, decorative objects are not oven or microwave safe. Keep them away from direct heat sources to preserve their integrity.
—
Stability & Placement: Ensure your decor is placed on a stable surface. For pieces with exposed bases, consider adding felt pads when placing them on delicate furniture to prevent potential scratches.
Glassware Care
Timeless Clarity for Every Pour.
Glassware care requirements vary by item. Check the individual product page before using a dishwasher, microwave, or oven. Unless the product page explicitly confirms otherwise, hand wash with a soft, non-abrasive sponge, dry with a lint-free cloth, and avoid sudden temperature changes.
PRO TIPS
—
For items labeled dishwasher-safe: Place glassware securely on the top rack and leave space between pieces to reduce contact and scratching.
—
A gentle touch: When hand-washing, always use a soft, non-abrasive sponge to protect the glass's brilliance. Dry immediately with a lint-free cloth to avoid water spots.
—
Revive the shine: If a cloudy film forms due to hard water minerals, soak your glass in a solution of white vinegar for 30 minutes. Gently buff with a soft cloth in a circular motion to restore its optimum clarity.
Wood & Mixed Media
Nurture the Nature in Every Detail.
Sundayware’s woodenware and mixed-media pieces are crafted from premium natural woods, celebrating the unique grain and warmth of the earth. Because wood is a living material that "breathes," it requires thoughtful care to prevent warping or cracking. With a little extra attention, these pieces will develop a beautiful patina, becoming a cherished part of your table for years to come.
PRO TIPS
—
No Soaking, Dishwashing, Microwaving, or Oven Use: Natural wood is sensitive to moisture and heat. Hand wash only, and never place wooden pieces in a dishwasher, microwave, or oven.
—
Clean Promptly: Hand wash with warm water and mild soap immediately after use. Always dry thoroughly with a soft towel and let them air dry in a well-ventilated spot.
—
Regular Oiling: To maintain the finish and prevent the wood from drying out, treat your pieces with food-grade mineral oil or beeswax every few months. Apply a thin layer to a dry surface and let it soak in.
—
Environment Matters: Avoid storing woodenware in direct sunlight or near high-heat sources, as extreme temperature shifts can compromise the integrity of the natural fiber.
Metal Flatware & Tools
Brilliant Shine, Crafted for Every Course.
Sundayware’s metal flatware and tools are designed to bring a touch of modern elegance and functional precision to your kitchen. Crafted from premium-grade metals, each piece offers a perfect balance of weight and durability, ensuring resistance to corrosion even with frequent daily use. From professional food preparation to elegant dining, our metal collection retains its brilliant luster, gracing your home with timeless style.
PRO TIPS
—
Dishwasher Loading: To ensure a thorough clean, place flatware in the basket with handles facing down. For larger metal tools, ensure they are placed securely on the racks. Avoid mixing different metals in the same load to prevent potential discoloration or spotting.
—
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Use mild detergents for cleaning. Prolonged exposure to acidic substances, salts, or harsh chlorides can damage the protective finish of the metal.
—
Prevent Water Spots: In hard water areas, mineral spots may appear. Drying your metalware with a soft, dry cloth immediately after the wash cycle will effectively remove spots and restore its polished shine.
