Learn the best way to care for your porcelain snack bowls, including gentle cleaning methods and proper storage tips to prevent scratches and chips.
Quick answer
Clean your porcelain snack bowls by hand with mild soap and a soft sponge, and store them with felt separators or soft cloths between stacked bowls to protect the ultra-matte glaze.
Why ultra-matte glaze needs extra care
Porcelain snack bowls with an ultra-matte finish, like the Design Letters Porcelain Snack Bowl, have a beautiful velvety surface that is more prone to scratches than glossy glazes. Metal utensils, abrasive sponges, or stacking without protection can leave visible marks. This doesn't make the bowl less functional, but it does require a gentler approach to keep it looking pristine.
Step-by-step cleaning and storage routine
- 1. Rinse immediately after use: Rinse the bowl with warm water right after eating to prevent food from drying onto the surface. This reduces the need for scrubbing later. Do not let food sit overnight; dried-on residue can tempt you to scrub harder.
- 2. Hand wash with mild soap and a soft sponge: Use a gentle dish soap and a non-abrasive sponge or soft cloth. Wash in warm water, avoiding scouring pads or brushes with stiff bristles. Even a single scrub with a green pad can create fine scratches on the ultra-matte glaze.
- 3. Dry completely before stacking: Dry each bowl with a lint-free towel and let it air-dry fully. Moisture trapped between stacked bowls can lead to mildew or staining. Stack only when bone-dry; place a soft cloth or felt pad between each bowl to prevent glaze-on-glaze friction.
