I’m regularly asked by my customers, ” Can I put my ceramic mug in the dishwasher ?
In a word “Yes”, but it depends on the mug.
Lichen Ceramics mugs are meant to be enjoyed and used every day. You have bought this gorgeous, tactile and usable work of art, so you want to care for it. Just a few things to keep in mind. When putting my stoneware ceramic mugs in the dishwasher make sure they are packed securely. Because any ceramics will chip if it rattles around. Ceramics are breakable so handle with care, please mind the handles.
Anyone asking ” Can I put my ceramic mug in the dishwasher ?” has probably had a problem in the past. Primarily this will be due to the type of clay the mug is made from and the temperature its fired up to. In a dishwasher’s the heat combined with the water can weaken some mugs. But higher the temperature the mug is fired to the less moisture it can absorb. A Terracotta mug will absorb up to 10% of moisture over its life. A Stoneware mug will only absorb 1-2% of moisture over its life. This allows that Lichen Ceramics mugs can be safely put in a dishwasher and will stay as colourful as the day you bought them.
My lightweight, colourful stoneware ceramics are used in a local busy café, so if they survive there, you shouldn’t have a problem.
So, the answer to the question is Yes, you can put my ceramic mug in the dishwasher.

Just treat them with care and you will be enjoying them for years. Of course, you might have the problem my brother gives out about that ” they are always in the dishwasher, as they are the ones everyone uses first, when its time for a cuppa”. But that just means you need more of them. This can be easily solved at https://lichenceramics.ie/product/ceramic-cappuccino-pottery-mug-chocolate-soup-coffee-leitrim-gift-irish/
