It is safe to wash your bone china in an automatic dishwasher if you can stick to the following recommendations. Load your dishwasher with bone china products so that pieces DO NOT touch each other to ensure the risk of scratching. Do not overload and do not exceed a temperature of 60ºC | 140ºF when washing bone china in the dishwasher. We recommend using a gentle, short wash or china and crystal cycle. Use a gentle eco detergent. Ecodetergents are better than stronger dishwashing powder and tablets. Once the dishwasher ends its cycle, remove bone china immediately; this will help to prevent forming a film around your chinaware.
