SAFETY & WASHCARE

SGS (formerly Société Générale de Surveillance) has certified the IHCo tableware and paints to be food safe. Coated with a food-grade lacquer, our designs remain ageless from your first wash to subsequent ones.

We honor the age-old tradition of eating from kansa tableware, cherished in Ayurveda for its multiple health benefits such as balancing the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—enhancing digestion, boosting immunity, and promoting holistic well-being. Kansa, an alloy of copper and tin, is believed to have powerful detoxifying properties and is non-reactive with acidic or alkaline foods, making it one of the safest and most nourishing metals to eat from. This timeless practice not only supports health but also connects us to a deeper, mindful way of living.

By adhering to the following wash care instructions, you can ensure that your treasured family heirloom continues to shine and grace your table for generations to come.

• Gentle Cleaning:
  To clean the painted surfaces, use a mild soap and a soft sponge. Gently wipe the utensils to preserve their delicate finish.
  
  
• Thorough Drying:
  After washing, ensure that all our tableware is meticulously dried using a soft, lint-free fabric. This step is crucial to safeguard the natural luster of the utensils.
  
  
• Oxidation Removal:
  For any parts that may exhibit signs of oxidation over time, the age-old method of utilizing Pitambari mitti proves remarkably effective. Apply this traditional cleaning solution to restore the utensils' original brilliance.
  
• Avoid Harsh Cleaning Agents:Steer clear of using abrasive or harsh cleaning agents that could potentially harm the utensils. Avoid scrubbing the metal and opt for gentler cleaning methods to safeguard their beauty and craftsmanship.
