Dolce&Gabbana Casa Creations
All products in the Dolce&Gabbana Casa Collections are distinguished by intricate manual craftsmanship and complex production techniques that blend tradition with a drive for innovation
Each treatment imparts a unique appearance to every creation, which may exhibit slight variations in color and design compared to others from the same batch and type. Depending on the material and specific characteristics, all creations require particular care measures.
PORCELAIN
Dolce&Gabbana Casa porcelain creations may feature differences in thickness, small spots, streaks, and slight variations in tone and color consistency. These characteristics are inherent to the nature of the materials and the handcrafted processes, and should be considered attributes that make each product unique and distinct from any other.
Preserving the aesthetics and qualities of the creations requires only a few steps, from cleaning to storage.
HAND WASHING
– Wash the products thoroughly with warm water and mild soap before first use and immediately after each use;
– Rinse with plenty of lukewarm water;
– Dry very well.
CARE TIPS
– Do not use synthetic detergents containing chlorine or bleach-based products;
– Strictly avoid pumice, steel wool, sponges, and cloths impregnated with abrasive powders.
CLEANING IN THE DISHWASHER
– Avoid running intensive wash cycles and ensure accessories are not placed in direct contact with each other;
– Keep dishware and glassware separate from cutlery and other steel items;
– Remove all items immediately after washing, even if the cycle includes automatic drying, and dry them thoroughly with a soft cloth;
– Do not leave accessories in the humid environment of the dishwasher; dry them and store them in a dry space.
ITEMS WITH DECORATIVE GOLD AND PLATINUM DETAILS
For optimal cleaning and care of the decoration, it is recommended to follow these guidelines:
– Wash Dolce&Gabbana creations by hand, never in the dishwasher, immediately after use;
– Use lukewarm water with mild soap and avoid scrubbing the decoration with steel wool or abrasive sponges;
– Dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent the formation of limescale spots on the decoration.
GLASS
Dolce&Gabbana Casa glass creations may exhibit variations in thickness, small marks, streaks, and slight differences in color tone and texture. These features are inherent to the nature of the materials, the intricate decorations, and the manual craftsmanship—such as in the case of Murano glass—and should be regarded as qualities that make each product unique and distinct.
To maintain the appearance and characteristics of glass creations, a few simple care guidelines should be followed, covering both cleaning and storage.
CLEANING
– It is recommended to wash the products by hand using warm water and mild soap rather than a dishwasher, both before their first use and immediately after each use;
– Rinse thoroughly with plenty of lukewarm water;
– Carefully dry all items completely.
CARE TIPS
– Do not use synthetic detergents containing chlorine or products with bleach;
– Strictly avoid pumice, steel wool pads, abrasive sponges, or cloths impregnated with abrasive powders.
ITEMS WITH DECORATIVE GOLD AND PLATINUM DETAILS
For optimal cleaning and care of the decoration, we recommend following these guidelines:
– Hand-wash Dolce&Gabbana Casa creations and never place them in the dishwasher, immediately after use;
– Use lukewarm water with mild soap, taking care not to scrub the decoration with abrasive sponges or pads;
– Dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent the formation of limescale spots on the decoration;
– Please note that items with gold and/or platinum finishes are not suitable for use in a microwave oven.
STEEL
Dolce&Gabbana products treated with PVD may exhibit slight color variations or inconsistencies between different models or production batches of the same item. These variations, monitored within acceptable tolerance limits, are considered unique features of the product.
The PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) finish is a specialized treatment that imparts refined colors and gloss to surfaces, along with superior mechanical and physical properties. The perception of color may vary subjectively depending on the geometry, dimensions, finishes, and lighting of the environment.
To maintain the aesthetic and quality of steel creations, a few simple care practices for cleaning and storage are recommended.
CLEANING
– Wash stainless steel items thoroughly by hand or in the dishwasher before first use and after each use, using suitable detergents;
– Rinse and dry each item carefully with a clean, soft cloth;
– To remove any stains or streaks (such as lime deposits or detergent residues), soak the item in warm water. For particularly stubborn marks, add a glass of vinegar to the water.
CARE TIPS
– Avoid detergents containing chlorine or bleach;
– Do not use steel wool, abrasive sponges, or powders, nor tumbling machines, as these may damage the PVD layer;
– For dishwasher cleaning, if a complete rinse and drying cycle is unavailable, ensure manual drying is done;
– Do not leave items inside the dishwasher after the wash cycle is complete;
– Avoid prolonged contact between stainless steel items and aggressive food residues, such as tomato, mayonnaise, eggs, coffee, red wine, salt, or vinegar.
STORAGE
– Store steel creations in a protective cloth;
– Keep accessories in a dry environment.
LACQUERED MDF
Dolce&Gabbana Casa accessories made of lacquered MDF stand out for their clean lines, minimalist design, and simultaneously distinctive and contemporary style.
To maintain the appearance and characteristics of lacquered MDF creations, follow these simple care and maintenance tips for cleaning and storage.
CLEANING
– Use a soft cloth for cleaning;
– For more stubborn dirt, opt for a non-colored liquid detergent free of ammonia, and immediately wipe off any residue with a dry cloth to prevent streaks or dulling.
CLEANING TIPS
– Avoid acetone, trichloroethylene, ammonia, abrasive sponges or creams, furniture waxes, alcohol, steel wool, solvents, or abrasive products, as these can irreparably damage the surfaces;
– Wooden trays: do not clean them in the dishwasher.
STORAGE TIPS
– Store accessories away from direct light sources;
– For cigar boxes, keep them away from heat sources. To ensure optimal conditions, use a humidifier to maintain an ideal humidity level between 68%-72%. This will prevent the Spanish cedar material from releasing any resin traces, ensuring optimal cigar preservation.

Minimal design, refined aesthetics, and durability define the Dolce&Gabbana Casa creations in gold-plated brass and silver-plated german silver.
A few steps, from cleaning to storage, are all that is needed to preserve the aesthetics and qualities of the creations.
WASHING
– Wash items thoroughly, by hand or in the dishwasher, before first use and after each use, using liquid, non-abrasive detergents;
– Rinse abundantly and dry each product carefully with a clean, soft cloth;
– For dishwasher cleaning, if the rinse and drying cycle is incomplete, manual drying is recommended. Do not leave items inside the dishwasher after the washing cycle ends;
– Avoid prolonged contact of the steel accessories with aggressive food residues such as tomato, mayonnaise, eggs, coffee, red wine, salt, vinegar, etc.
CARE
– Avoid using steel wool, abrasive sponges, powders, or tumbling barrels, as these may damage the quality of the gilding on the accessories.
