Using your Stelton Maya 2000 Dinner Fork is as simple as picking it up and using it for your meals. Just hold it like you would any regular fork. When it comes to cleaning, you can easily wash it with warm soapy water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they might scratch the stainless - steel surface. For long - term use, dry the fork thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and rust. Store it in a dry place, away from moisture. This fork is designed for daily use, but if you're using it for a special occasion, it will surely add a touch of elegance to your table.
