About Oneida Flatware

Cleaning & Care

• Before first use, thoroughly wash and dry your flatware by hand.
• Never leave flatware dirty or soaking in water overnight.
• Use a quality metal polish to remove any discoloration.
• Do not store stainless steel flatware wrapped in plastic or other materials that can trap moisture.

For dishwasher-safe flatware:

• Promptly rinse flatware after use to prevent food acids and/or oils from discoloring, corroding, or pitting.
• Load your dishwasher lightly so water circulates freely for more effective cleaning.
• Ensure flatware doesn’t touch other metal objects, which could cause discoloration.
• Avoid acidic detergents (e.g. lemon, orange, grapefruit) or highly chlorinated detergents.
• Avoid using heavy duty and dry heat cycles as these could damage flatware or cause discoloration.
• Remove flatware immediately after dishwasher cycle is complete and hand-dry to remove any remaining water before storing.

To hand wash flatware:

• After each use, wash flatware as soon as possible to prevent food acids and/or oils from discoloring, corroding, or pitting.
• Always use hot water and a mild detergent or soap to wash your flatware. Avoid acidic detergents (e.g. lemon, orange, grapefruit) that could harm surfaces.
• Rinse in clean, hot water.
• Dry promptly with a soft microfiber cloth.
