Best Practices for Storing and Maintaining Luxury Tableware
In the hospitality industry, first impressions matter — and nothing communicates elegance like pristine, luxury tableware. Whether it's a fine dining restaurant in Dubai, a boutique resort in Abu Dhabi, or a 5-star hotel in Sharjah, maintaining the quality and appearance of your luxury tableware reflects your brand’s commitment to excellence. As a leading hotel supplies company in UAE, we understand the importance of proper care and storage practices.
This blog outlines the best strategies hospitality professionals should adopt to protect their high-quality, dishwash safe, customizable tableware.
Why Proper Tableware Maintenance Matters
Premium tableware is a significant investment. From handcrafted porcelain to custom ceramic plates, these pieces contribute to the overall guest experience. Poor maintenance leads to:
-
Loss of shine and visual appeal
-
Increased breakage and wear
-
Additional replacement costs
-
Poor guest perception
With high guest turnover and daily operations, especially in luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants, following best practices can significantly extend the life of your tableware.
1. Use the Right Cleaning Practices
-
Choose dishwash safe options when purchasing. Always verify compatibility with commercial dishwashers.
-
Avoid abrasive sponges and harsh chemicals that erode glaze or gold/silver accents.
-
Pre-rinse to remove food residue before washing.
-
Air-dry or use soft microfiber cloths to prevent watermarks.
2. Establish Safe Storage Solutions
-
Store vertically using padded racks or horizontal with dividers to prevent chipping.
-
Avoid stacking too many items to reduce pressure and cracking.
-
Keep in dry, temperature-controlled areas to prevent moisture damage.
-
Use felt or silicone pads between stacked pieces.
3. Train Staff on Handling Protocols
-
Educate kitchen and service staff on proper handling to reduce accidents.
-
Implement a system for separating delicate pieces from high-use items.
-
Ensure rotation of inventory to distribute usage evenly.
4. Invest in Customizable and Durable Tableware

Keep a well-organized inventory system for easier tracking.
