Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Royal Albert Polka Blue set, always hand-wash each item individually using mild liquid detergent and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads or harsh cleansers, as these will damage the delicate floral patterns and the gold rim. After washing, dry the pieces immediately with a soft, lint-free towel to prevent water spots on the finish. These items are strictly not compatible with microwaves or dishwashers, as the heat and chemicals can cause the gold trim to fade or the china to crack.
