Gold-colored forks and knives are suitable for delicate wash cycles in the dishwasher. Forks and knives should be washed immediately after use. Allowing food residues to sit on the utensils exposes them to the negative effects of different acid and salt mixtures found in food residues. Leaving food residues on the utensils can lead to rust, corrosion, and discoloration on the surface. Forks and knives should never be left soaking in water in any way. Even if detergent-free water is used, minerals like calcium in the water can damage the surface of the utensils. Bleach and/or harsh detergents containing lemon should not be used to clean forks and knives. For stubborn stains, it is recommended to use stainless steel cleaners. When storing forks and knives, they should be completely dry. It is normal for utensils to become scratched and lose their shine over time due to regular use. The products are made of stainless steel and are 100% Turkish-made.
