Using your UCO eco-friendly cutlery is easy. Just grab the knife, fork, or spoon as you would with any regular cutlery for your daily meals. When it's time to clean, you can simply pop them in the dishwasher - they're designed to withstand it. As for maintenance, there's not much to do. Just make sure to dry them well after washing to keep them in good condition. When these utensils reach the end of their useful life, remember they're recyclable, so you can give them a new life in the recycling process. Avoid using them on extremely hard surfaces to prevent any damage to the cutlery.
