How to care for your bone china

All mclaggan+co mugs are dishwasher and microwave safe.

Over a period of time, regular washing in a dishwasher may cause some colours to fade. To avoid this, mclaggan+co recommend using a cool wash cycle, or to wash your mug by hand.

Dark liquids like tea and coffee can stain bone china. Where possible wash or rinse your mug soon after use to prevent staining. Avoid using scouring pads or abrasive chemicals as this can damage the glaze and lead to more permanent staining.

Most stains can be removed by soaking in warm water before washing, for any tougher to remove stains mclaggan+co recommend soaking in white vinegar. Gently heat one cup of white vinegar and leave to soak for at least two hours, then wash normally with warm soapy water and you should have a sparkling clean mug!

 How to avoid thermal shock

Although bone china is the strongest ceramic material, a knock may occasionally create an invisible hairline crack and weaken the mug enough to cause it to crack when hot water is added (something known as “thermal shock”).

You can reduce the risk of thermal shock by adding a teaspoon or a splash of cold water or milk before boiling water. You should also avoid washing with boiling or hot water and use lukewarm water instead.
