The medieval-style stainless steel travel cutlery should ideally be washed by hand with warm water, a mild dish soap, and a soft sponge to avoid scratches. While stainless steel is generally dishwasher-safe, handwashing is recommended for a lasting appearance, and the cutlery should be dried immediately afterward. The leather case is not suitable for the dishwasher or contact with water; it should only be wiped with a slightly damp cloth as needed and occasionally treated with a suitable leather conditioner to keep the material supple.
