FAQs
Is this tray dishwasher safe?
Yes, the tray is dishwasher safe, but we recommend handwashing with a soft cloth to maintain its finish and prolong its lifespan.
Can I cut food directly on this tray?
It is not recommended to cut food directly on the tray surface, as this can cause scratches. Use a separate cutting board.
Is the tray suitable for hot dishes?
While the melamine is durable, it is not designed for direct contact with very hot dishes straight from the oven. Allow dishes to cool slightly before placing them on the tray.
What are the exact dimensions of the tray?
The dimensions are 46cm in length, 35cm in width, and 2.6cm in height.
Can I use this tray in the microwave?
No, this melamine tray is not microwave-safe and should never be placed in a microwave.
How do I maintain the rustic look?
Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth is sufficient. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could remove the rustic finish.
Troubleshooting
Tray appears dull or scratched.
Ensure you are using a non-abrasive cleaning cloth and mild soap. Minor scratches may be superficial; deeper scratches cannot be repaired. Avoid using sharp utensils directly on the tray surface.
Food stains are difficult to remove.
Try using a paste of baking soda and water, let it sit for a few minutes, then gently wipe clean. For stubborn stains, a diluted bleach solution can be used sparingly, followed by thorough rinsing, but this should be a last resort to avoid damaging the finish.
Tray feels sticky after washing.
Ensure all soap residue is thoroughly rinsed off. If using a dishwasher, check that the rinse aid dispenser is functioning correctly.
