I'm using them in the kitchen where food might spill on them. How do you clean them to avoid scratching? Can you use glass cleaner? A screen cleaner?

We bought for a teens room, and it is holding up like a charm. She just whips it down. I would use glass cleaner. Can't distroy this chair!

Very easy - they're made of durable acrylic so as long as you're not using something noteworthy for its harshness, you'll be fine. Anything like vinegar/water (or any of the "green" cleaners, hand soap, GlassPlus/Windex, etc will be fine! In fact, unless something is very messy, just a paper towel will probably work in most situations! Enjoy!

I would use windex or glass cleaner or a liquid cleaner that won't melt plastic! Obviously, a scrubbing pad and powders like Comet or Ajax, etc. won't work.

I clean it with windex and paper towel. The chairs do scratch easily but are not noticeable from afar.

These seem more decorative than sturdy work horses for the kitchen. I use mine at my kitchen desk, which I actually rarely sit at, because I am always running about! This chair functions more for a decorative piece that looks good, and you can sit on it, but not for extended use.

Turn them inside out and use a sponge with soapy water. Cleans like a breeze and the baked goods slide out of them better than any other brand I've used!!

I also would use straight dish detergent and a non-stick pan. Goo be gone might help too, but I'd try non stick pad first. I love, love, love, these pans.

Hi, I haven't had that problem with mine, fortunately, and I've had them in the dishwasher 5-10 times (depending upon the size, I use some more than others). I wonder if the other reviewer had a scratched or knicked spot that caused that problem? Mine have been great, though.

No, don't be lazy, make the small effort cleaning them by hand. They can rattle around in the dishwasher and be damaged.

It was a pain.... I couldn't believe the location of them! I used veggie oil and let sit in the sink. Then used old fashioned elbow grease to be totally rid of them. They are awesome. Years ago I had a plastic set, but lost them in the divorce. The stainless steel are much better! Good Luck

I haven't had to clean mine yet. It appears you could just wipe them down with a wet towel. I would think they could even withstand being hosed off if necessary. They are quite sturdy.

Hi Elise, to be honest, I haven't tried yet, because I haven't used them much, I would suggest looking at the little directions on the package, but I am going to try a little liquid soap and warm water; I believe that will clean them properly. Hope that helps!

Because of the dark coating, you don't need to polish them. You do need to use plastic or silicon utensils to avoid chipping or scratching the inner lining. As to cleaning, I have found that just dish soap and warm water work well. If the mess is a sticky one, I soak it for a few minutes and the mess wipes right out.

I've had mine for about two months and I don't have any scratches on any of them with my husband, my sitter and me using them. We are careful not to use any metal utensils on them and wash with cloth, sponge or fabric-based scour pad if needed (and it rarely is) both inside and out. I gave away nearly $600 worth of All-Clad cookware after getting this set and I couldn't be happier. It's so worth the extra effort to keep it looking nice.

If they are not being slid around they should not scratch. Be careful though they are really strong if you let it slam into the surface you would almost certainly get scratches.

I usually wash them with warm water and regular dish soap, I let them dry on the counter. Better if you use them with round parchment paper (you can cut it previously) so It doesn´t get sticky/oily when you cook.

I have only used them a few times, but so far no scratches. I have not really made anything that would warrant using a knife in them though. Things slide out fairly easily if you butter them before using them and eating something (Mini chicken pot pies) directly out of them with forks did not scratch them.

Not real sure I'd trust putting them in a dish washer as the racks themselves maybe warped from the high heat that dishwasher have. Besides they are easily washes in the sink. Just a hint though. I rub a bit of olive oil on the racks prior to use. That way the clean up nicer and it's easier to get the dried products off the screens.

Clean the glass and cups with some isopropyl (not rubbing) alcohol first. My feeder (now on its third year) came with a note showing which way the tabs on the cups should be pointing so that they're parallel; I don't know if they still do that. I'll find out after I order my second one. That's crucial to their sticking well. Dunk the cups in water, then apply. Mine's still holding after a month.

They should not scratch any surfaces. They are made of plastic. They are a bit more slippery on smooth surfaces than carpet though. My son got the hang of it first on carpet and then I let him in the (linoleum) kitchen.

I have not put them in the dishwasher. I think the best way to clean them would be to use a baby bottle cleaner. They might hold up to the extreme heat of the dishwasher.
