Taking care of a porcelain tea set can be quite tedious if you are not careful. It begins with soaking the parts of the tea set in lukewarm water to get rid of any debris. For tougher stains, it is good to combine a gentle dish soap with warm water. A soft cloth or sponge can be used to gently scrub the surface without using anything abrasive that might scratch the surface glaze. Make sure to rinse out thoroughly and use a soft towel to dry the pieces to avoid spotting on the porcelain. For smaller intricate designs you can use a soft bristled toothbrush that allows you get into the hard to reach crevices without causing any damage. Proper maintenance will not only make your porcelain tea set more appealing but also allow it to serve its purpose for decades.
