Care Instructions
IT DOESN’T TAKE MUCH
TO KEEP THEM BEAUTIFUL
It’s the small, everyday care that extends product lifespan and makes your cutlery stay looking its best for longer. For instance, always rinse your cutlery after use, but do not leave it to soak. Cutlery can of course be cleaned in the dishwasher, but remember to open the door afterwards so that the steam escapes. We also recommend that you keep your Gense cutlery separate from other types of steel in the dishwasher, as rust particles can stick to the cutlery if the pieces touch each other.
WHAT DOES STOCKFISH AND EGG HAVE IN COMMON?
Besides that both are usual elements of the Swedish Christmas dinner table, they can also cause stains on silverware if they are in contact for a longer time. If you have used the cutlery for stockfish or eggs, wash the silverware immediately after the meal to avoid discoloration.
don’t let the cutlery soak in water
If you have had a dinner and don’t want to wash the cutlery right away, don’t let them soak in water. Never leave the cutlery to soak. If you don’t want to wash the cutlery right away, just rinse it.
Just as with glass, it’s advisable to wipe the cutlery after cleaning to prevent any staining.
USE THEM OFTEN
The more you use the cutlery, the less care is needed. It is the best way to preserve the glorious luster and shine that only genuine silverware has.
STORAGE
If you use your silverware every day it is perfectly fine to store it in your regular kitchen drawer, just make sure they are not mixed with any stainless steel cutlery.
Also keep in mind that rubber is not the best friend of silver since it may cause stains. If you don’t use your silverware on a daily basis, you can store the cutlery in a schatull or in Gense’s cutlery roll.
USE THE
DISHWASHER
It is perfectly fine to wash your silverware in the dishwasher, just make sure that they are not placed close together with stainless steel cutlery. Of course they can also be washed by hand with ordinary dish soap.
You can wash the cutlery in your dishwasher, but always remember to open the dishwasher door immediately after the cycle is completed.
Do not wash your Gense cutlery together with other types of steel. Particles of rust can stain your new cutlery during the washing process.
Always leave space around your cutlery to prevent it from becoming scratched.
SILVER & STEEL
polish twice a year
To maintain the beautiful shine and protection, we recommend to clean the cutlery with care products for silver and stainless steel. If you polish your cutlery two or three times a year, it will stay looking as good as new.
