Using this Annieglass charger plate is super easy. Just put it on your dinner table under your regular plates to add a touch of elegance. When it comes to cleaning, since it's dishwasher - safe, you can simply place it in the dishwasher. However, to keep its precious metal trim looking great for a long time, try not to let it rub against rough objects. If you prefer hand - washing, use a mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Store it carefully in a place where it won't get bumped or scratched, as even though it's chip - resistant, it's still best to handle it gently.
