How to Clean CCCLAY Cups: Dishwasher Safety and Special Finishes

CCCLAY ceramic cups are dishwasher safe unless they have natural lacquer (urushi) or precious-metal decoration, including gold or silver rims. Hand wash these special finishes and follow their product-specific care instructions.

Dishwasher-safe ceramic cups

CCCLAY ceramic cups without natural lacquer or precious-metal decoration can be cleaned in a dishwasher.
The porcelain body and glazes made from natural mineral raw materials are fired at 1,220°C or higher, forming a durable glazed surface with a glossy or matte finish.
This care guidance applies to CCCLAY ceramic cups; follow the separate instructions supplied with products made from other materials.

Special finishes: hand wash only

Natural lacquer (urushi) pieces: hand wash and follow the care instructions for that finish.
Precious-metal decoration, including gold or silver rims and relevant hand-painted editions: hand wash and follow the product-specific instructions.
If the finish on your piece is unclear, send its product name or a photograph to hello@ccclaycoffee.com before choosing a cleaning method.

Cleaning and drying

Use a soft cloth for cleaning and drying.
Do not use steel wool, abrasive scouring pads or other tools that may scratch the surface.
Use the instructions for the actual finish on your piece when treating stains; do not assume a treatment suitable for ordinary ceramic glaze is suitable for lacquer or precious-metal decoration.
