Using these charger plates is easy. Just place them on the table before setting the dinnerware. They're great for formal events like receptions and banquets. When it comes to cleaning, simply rinse them under hot water. Do not put them in the microwave or dishwasher as they're not designed for these appliances. Keep them in a dry place when not in use to maintain their quality. And don't forget, they pair nicely with our placemats to create a more stylish table setting.
