To maintain the beautiful factory gloss and vibrant primary yellow finish of these vintage Texas Ware pieces, please follow these collector-recommended care guidelines:
HAND WASH ONLY: Always hand-wash with mild dish soap and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid the dishwasher, as modern harsh detergents and high heat cycles will strip away the protective surface gloss over time.
SKIP THE ABRASIVES: Never use steel wool, scouring pads, or abrasive cleansers, which will micro-scratch the surface and permanently dull the finish.
STAIN REMOVAL: If you encounter stubborn stains, avoid bleach. Instead, gently rub a paste made of baking soda and water over the spot with a soft cloth to lift the stain without scratching the surface.
NO MICROWAVES OR OVENS: Melamine is heat-resistant for serving hot food but cannot withstand direct microwave or oven radiation, which will dry out the resin, warp the piece, and blister the finish.
AVOID SERRATED KNIVES: Use regular serving utensils. Sharp, serrated blades can cut through the outer protective layer and leave permanent scars.MADE IN THE USAShipping & Packaging: This set will be packed with the utmost care, utilizing plenty of clean packing materials to ensure it arrives at your doorstep in its current pristine condition.We use Calculated Shipping, so you pay the exact, fair postage rate to your zip code based on the package weight and dimensions.
