Do not use knives to open cans, cut bones and other materials that might damage the edge and its cut. Tramontina recommends the use of commercial plastic dishwasher racks/container when using any type of dishwasher, both commercial or residential. In order to avoid damage during dishwasher cycle, please follow these steps:
POLYWOOD® Manufacturing Process | Pressing
Do not use any abrasive materials and chemicals in the dishwasher, they may damage the knife rivets and handle natural shine. Just soap and water is recommended to extend the cutlery’s lifespan. Place knives and other point cutlery downwards in the dishrack to avoid blades to damage the Polywood ® handles and other items. Store knives in a safe place with the blades facing the same direction (inside the drawer, for example). This way, the blades do not scratch or damage the knife handles. Polywood ® is dishwasher safe, impact and heat resistant, however, when in contact with blades and sharp surfaces, handles may be scratched and damaged.
