Before using your Cambridge Silversmiths flatware for the first time, we recommend that you wash it thoroughly either in your dishwasher or by hand.
Always wash in hot water and a mild soap or detergent. Rinse in clean, hot water and dry promptly.
Avoid harsh detergents containing lemon as they can harm flatware surfaces. Wash your flatware as soon as possible after each meal. This will prevent prolonged contact with harsh, acidic foods that may cause discoloration, corrosion, or pitting. It is also preferable to wash your stainless separately from aluminum, sterling, or silver-plated items. It is important that you never let your flatware soak (even in plain water) or leave it unwashed overnight.
