Goa Gold 18-Piece Gold-Plated Steel and Black Resin Cutlery Set by Cutipol (6 place settings)

When hand washing your Cutipol cutlery, avoid abrasive sponges and steel wool. After use, rinse off any food residue as soon as possible with warm water and a mild, chlorine-free detergent.

Your cutlery is dishwasher safe as long as you do not use detergents containing salt or limescale remover. Do not leave cutlery with food residue inside the dishwasher; if necessary, rinse it before loading or run a rinse cycle if you do not want to wash the dishes straight away. If you live in an area with "hard water" high in minerals or limescale, hand washing is preferable. Minimise prolonged contact with dishwasher steam by removing the cutlery as soon as the wash cycle ends.

After hand or dishwasher washing, to prevent stains (more likely on knife blades) we recommend drying each piece with a soft, dry cloth before putting it away.

Pay particular attention to knife blades. The steel that gives them greater cutting power and hardness can be less resistant to oxidation and corrosion. Make sure to wash knives immediately after use and dry them thoroughly before storing them in a dry place.

Because of the carbon content of all knife blades and the copper in the Gold and Rose Gold plating, avoid aggressive, chlorine-based or limescale-removing detergents, as they could stain or rust the cutlery. After use, do not leave it dirty for long. Rust on stainless steel can be removed with a rust remover.

Place the pieces carefully in the dishwasher, preferably in the cutlery basket. To avoid scratches, the cutlery should not touch each other, especially pieces with polished and gold-plated finishes. When hand washing, use a soft cloth or a non-abrasive sponge. We recommend placing knives separately in the dishwasher.

To make darker handles last longer and keep their colour more vibrant, we suggest applying a moisturising lotion or a few drops of vegetable oil. If superficial dirt stains appear, you can remove them by sanding the handle with sandpaper or another abrasive material. This applies to all models with resin handles such as Goa, Mio, Nau, Alice, Noor, Ebony and Kube.

To bring out the shine of your cutlery: mix 1 part vinegar with 8 parts hot water in a basin, immerse the cutlery and let it soak for 5-10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a lint-free cloth.
