These charger plates are great for adding a decorative touch to your table. To use them, simply place them under your regular dinner plates. They're not for direct food contact, so keep that in mind. When it comes to cleaning, it's super easy - just rinse them under hot water. But don't put them in the microwave or dishwasher as they're not made for that. Since they're reusable, take good care of them. Store them in a dry place when not in use to keep them in good condition.
