1. Clean hand- The first thing you should make sure of is to not place dirty hands on the tea set. Touching tea sets with dirty hands would leave dabbing prints on the set and looks very tacky after drying up. Secondly, avoid wearing any jewellery like bangles or rings as they might place a scratch mark on the tea set and these scratches are permanent damage. We are sure, you do not want to damage your favorite tea set because of a minor negligence. Also, keep in mind to handle the tea set with utmost delicacy and do not let it slip away. It involves basic cleaning tips but just to remind you to make sure to hold the tea set with both hands and not use soapy hands.
2. Cleaning product- Cleaning ceramic or glass tea set with normal tap water might not be enough. These tea sets are very delicate and are embodied with beautiful colors and designs. So, the idea is to pour lukewarm water into a bowl with light soap. Now rinse your tea set nicely into the mixture and rub it gently with your hands and wash them off with normal water. Don't use harsh soap or rubbing pads as they would rub off the color and shine. Try using cup cleaning soft pads or brushes with bristles for better cleaning experience. This simple technique protects your tea set from permanent marks and smell. It also prevents colors from fading off early.
3. Storage of tea sets- Now that you are done with the cleaning part let's talk about storing the ceramic and glass tea set. Before putting the tea set back in the cabinet make sure to dry them off nicely. Keeping tea sets in open areas is a big NO. What is the whole point of cleaning with so much care when you are going to keep it in an open area which is prone to dust? Try to store the tea set in a closed cabinet or a kitchen trolley with covers. This not only protects the tea set from dust but also the possibility of falling and breaking. Keep the area dry as the wet area might leave patches on these.
4. Usage care- How basic this might sound we at times ignore the ground rules of using ceramic or glass tea sets. There are a few sub-points to this aspect.

* Don't put the tea set in direct contact with heat as it is very harmful and might break instantly causing damage to the tea set and the person using it.

* Secondly, use a kettle to pour tea into the cup to minimize the heat pressure.

* Next habit we need to follow is using coasters and tray for simple hygiene.

* Don't put too much pressure on the handle of your delicate tea sets to avoid breakage.
