Bluvio Quadra Ceramic Cup: Handmade Stoneware Care Guide

Quick answer

Hand wash your Bluvio Quadra cup with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid dishwashers, sudden temperature changes, and abrasive cleaners to protect the handmade smoked grey finish.

Step-by-step care for your Bluvio Quadra cup

1. Rinse promptly after each use: Empty the cup and rinse it with warm water within 30 minutes of finishing your drink. This stops coffee oils and tea tannins from settling into the glaze. If you can't wash it right away, at least fill the cup with warm water to keep residue soft.
2. Wash by hand with mild soap: Use a soft sponge or cloth and a small amount of mild dish soap in warm water. Gently wipe the inside and outside, paying attention to the rim and handle. Avoid scouring pads, steel wool, or cleaners containing bleach or abrasives—they can scratch the glaze.
3. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately: Rinse the cup under warm running water to remove all soap residue, then dry it with a soft, lint-free cloth. Don't let it air-dry, especially if your water is hard. Standing water can leave mineral spots that are harder to remove later.
4. Store with care: Place the cup in a cupboard where it won't knock against other dishes. If you stack mugs, put a soft cloth or paper towel between them. Avoid hanging the cup by its handle if the handle is thin—it may weaken over time.
5. Handle stains gently: For stubborn tea or coffee stains, make a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stain, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Gently scrub with a soft cloth, then wash and dry as usual. Never use undiluted bleach or harsh chemicals, which can damage the glaze and leave odours.
