These charger plates are a great addition to your dinner parties. To use them, simply place them under your regular dinner plates. They are not for direct food contact. When it comes to cleaning, just rinse them under hot water. Do not put them in the microwave or dishwasher as they are not suitable for these appliances. Store them in a dry place to keep them in good condition. Remember, the sale only includes the charger plates, so you'll need to get other decorative items separately. Enjoy using these beautiful and durable plates for your formal events!
