These charger plates are super easy to use. Just place them on your dining table as a base for your regular dinner plates, and they'll instantly add a touch of elegance to your table setting. When it comes to cleaning, simply rinse them under hot water. Don't put them in the microwave or dishwasher, as they're not designed for that. To keep them in good condition, store them in a dry place. These plates are great for formal events like receptions and banquets, and they pair nicely with our placemats.
