Initiation:
Rinse the cup with lukewarm (not hot) water and let it dry completely before using it for the first time.
Usage:
Avoid sudden temperature changes - pouring in boiling water or placing it over an open flame could cause it to crack.
Keep it away from high heat sources like microwaves, ovens, or stoves.
Only use it for its intended purpose.
Cleaning:
Wash gently with warm water and let it dry thoroughly to prevent mold.
Don’t use a dishwasher or dryer, hand wash with a gentle dish soap.
Avoid scrubbing areas with colored or gold decorations.
If discoloration occurs, never use bleach or harsh cleaners.
Do not scrub as it may damage the delicate surface decorations and golden coating.
