FAQ

What are these tableware items made from?+

This set is manufactured using durable melamine plastic. Melamine is known for its resistance to chipping, cracking, and staining - making it ideal for outdoor use and events where spills might occur.

Are the colours permanent?+

The colour finish on these tableware items is designed to be long-lasting; however, repeated exposure to direct sunlight or abrasive cleaning may cause some fading over time. Gentle washing with mild soap is recommended.

How should I clean these plates and cups?+

Handwashing is always the best option for melamine tableware to preserve its colour and prevent scratching. If machine washing is necessary, use a gentle cycle and avoid abrasive detergents or harsh scrubbers.

Are these suitable for hot food and beverages?+

While durable, melamine is not ideal for extremely hot liquids as it can warp slightly. It’s best suited for cold drinks and moderately warm foods like salads or sandwiches.

Can I use these items in the dishwasher?+

Yes, these tableware items are generally suitable for a gentle cycle in most dishwashers. However, we recommend handwashing to prolong their lifespan and maintain colour vibrancy.

What is the weight of this set?+

The total weight of this tableware set (approximately 35 pieces) is approximately 5kg. This is important to consider when transporting the items to your event venue.

Are these plates suitable for outdoor use?+

Yes, the melamine construction makes them ideal for outdoor events such as garden parties and barbecues; however, protect them from extreme weather conditions like prolonged exposure to intense sunlight or freezing temperatures.

What is the minimum age recommendation for this tableware?+

This tableware set is suitable for ages 3 years and above. Supervision is recommended when young children are using the items.

Are these plates microwave safe?+

While technically usable in a microwave, we don't recommend prolonged heating of food on melamine tableware as it can potentially affect the material’s integrity over time. Short bursts for reheating small portions are generally fine.

Do I need to oil the tableware before first use?+

No, you do not need to oil this melamine tableware set before its initial use. Melamine is naturally non-porous and doesn't require any special treatment – simply wash thoroughly before your first event.
