How to extend the service life of ceramic tableware

Pulished on Jun. 16, 2025

Have you ever found that the ceramic tableware you bought years ago was covered with spider-web-like fine cracks when you were tidying up the kitchen? Have you ever 

complained that "the porcelain nowadays is not as durable as before"? In fact, 80% of the damage to ceramics is caused by incorrect maintenance - microwaving glazed 

and painted tableware, rough washing in the dishwasher, clinking when stacking, and so on. These daily actions are quietly shortening the lifespan of tableware. So, how 

should we use ceramic tableware scientifically?

1.How to clean correctly 


Experiments show that when hot tableware at 100℃ is directly placed into water at 20℃, the breakage rate increases by six times. Therefore, it is recommended that 

high-temperature ceramic tableware at 100℃ be first transitioned in warm water at 60℃, and then placed in a pool of normal temperature water for cleaning after a while. 


Let's talk about the tools for cleaning ceramic tableware. In the past, people initially used steel wool balls to clean tableware. But in today's advanced technological era, nano 

sponges for cleaning tableware can be seen in every household. The change in cleaning tools has greatly reduced the wear and tear on tableware during the cleaning process. 

However, in fact, natural palm brushes are the mildest for cleaning tableware. If you can pair it with a neutral detergent with a pH of 7.5, it can perfectly balance the cleaning 

power and protective effect. Why not give it a try? 


2.How to Use Correctly 


When you are using ceramic tableware wholesale from China, try sticking a silicone anti-slip pad on the bottom of the bowl. This can help prevent the tableware from 

breaking easily. Moreover, it will be placed silently and avoid disturbing others.

Learn to categorize tableware and become a classification expert. Use lead-free glazed white porcelain as tableware for infants and young children, and use coarse earthenware 

as baking molds. This not only helps better protect the tableware but also enhances our sense of use. 


3.How to Store Correctly 


A telescopic partition rack can be set up in the kitchen to give each piece of tableware its own "bedroom". In this way, they won't bump into each other, can remain as good as 

new and bring a wonderful experience when in use. 


If the humidity of the usage environment can be controlled to be above 65%, our ceramic tableware will be more durable. It is suggested to install a small dehumidifier in the 

cabinet, which can help control the humidity of the environment. 


4.How to maintain properly 


If your tableware has been used for a long time, you can try to refurbish it. Mix glutinous rice flour into a paste to fill the cracks. After drying, it will form a natural protective layer. 

This method was used to restore porcelain in the Song Dynasty.

If the underglaze ceramic tableware manufactured in Chinese factory shows signs of fading, we can also use a cotton swab dipped in a special ceramic glaze color restorer 

to apply color locally and then bake it at a low temperature. A brand new piece of tableware is thus born. 


One point to be particularly noted is that antique tableware is most vulnerable to moisture and direct ultraviolet rays. Therefore, our ceramic tableware should be stored in 

a place that is shielded from direct sunlight and not too damp. 


Let's all take good care of the ceramic tableware at home and help them last longer!
