Using these charger plates is super easy. Just place them on your dining table before your guests arrive. They're great for formal events like receptions and banquets. When it comes to cleaning, simply rinse them under hot water. Don't put them in the microwave or dishwasher as they're not made for that. Keep them in a dry place when not in use to maintain their durability. And remember, this purchase only includes the charger plates, so don't expect any other decorative items.
