How do I care for PSM Cutlery to make it last longer?

Aug 14, 2025

As a supplier of PSM Cutlery, I understand the importance of providing customers with not only high - quality products but also the knowledge on how to take good care of them. PSM Cutlery is renowned for its durability and eco - friendliness, and with proper care, these utensils can serve you for a long time.

Understanding PSM Cutlery

PSM Cutlery is mainly made from plant starch materials, which are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. This unique composition gives it certain characteristics that require specific care methods. For instance, compared to traditional plastic cutlery, PSM Cutlery is more sensitive to extreme temperatures and rough handling.

Storage

One of the first steps in caring for PSM Cutlery is proper storage. When not in use, store your cutlery in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in areas with high humidity, such as near the sink or in a damp basement. High humidity can cause the plant starch material to absorb moisture, which may lead to deformation or the growth of mold.

It's also a good idea to keep the cutlery in a dedicated container or drawer. This will protect them from scratches and damage that can occur if they are jumbled together with other items. You can use a soft - lined cutlery tray to separate different types of utensils, like PSM Knife, Plant Starch Spoons, and PSM Spork. This organization not only helps in preventing damage but also makes it easier for you to find the utensil you need.

Cleaning

Cleaning PSM Cutlery is a crucial part of its care routine. The good news is that these utensils are relatively easy to clean. For light soiling, you can simply rinse them under warm water and use a mild dish soap. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the surface of the cutlery.

When washing, use a soft sponge or cloth to gently scrub the utensils. Do not use steel wool or other rough scrubbers, as they can scratch the plant starch material. After washing, make sure to dry the cutlery thoroughly. You can either air - dry them by placing them on a drying rack or pat them dry with a clean towel. Leaving the cutlery wet can promote the growth of bacteria and may also cause the material to weaken over time.

If the cutlery has stubborn stains, you can soak them in a solution of warm water and a small amount of mild detergent for a few minutes before gently scrubbing. However, do not soak them for too long, as prolonged exposure to water can also affect the integrity of the plant starch material.

Avoiding Extreme Temperatures

PSM Cutlery is sensitive to extreme temperatures. Do not expose the cutlery to direct sunlight for extended periods, as the heat can cause the material to warp or become brittle. Similarly, avoid using the cutlery in very hot or very cold environments. For example, do not use them to scoop extremely hot soups or to handle frozen foods directly.

If you need to use the cutlery with hot or cold items, it's best to let the food reach a moderate temperature first. This will help to preserve the shape and quality of the cutlery.

Handling with Care

When using PSM Cutlery, handle them gently. Do not use excessive force when cutting or scooping. For example, if you are using a PSM Knife, use a proper cutting board and make smooth, controlled cuts. Avoid using the knife to pry or open things, as this can damage the blade.

For Plant Starch Spoons and PSM Spork, do not use them to stir very thick or hard substances. This can cause the utensil to bend or break.

Regular Inspections

Regularly inspect your PSM Cutlery for any signs of damage. Check for cracks, chips, or deformities. If you notice any damage, it's best to stop using the utensil immediately. Continuing to use a damaged cutlery can not only lead to further breakage but may also pose a safety risk.

If you find a damaged item, you can contact us as your supplier. We can provide you with replacement options or offer advice on how to handle the situation.

Tips for Prolonging the Lifespan

  • Rotate Usage: Instead of using the same set of cutlery every day, rotate between different sets. This will reduce the wear and tear on each individual utensil and extend their overall lifespan.
  • Educate Users: If you are using the cutlery in a commercial setting or sharing them with others, make sure to educate everyone on how to properly care for the PSM Cutlery. This can prevent accidental damage caused by improper handling.

Taking care of PSM Cutlery is not a difficult task. By following these simple steps of proper storage, cleaning, avoiding extreme temperatures, handling with care, and regular inspections, you can ensure that your PSM Cutlery lasts for a long time.
