It’s that time of year when the sleigh bells are jingling, the streets are full of lights, and it seems like family and friends are packed into your dining room every other night for holiday dinners. It’s also that time of year when your finest dishware – we’re talking crystal, china, the works – comes out from storage, making a huge hassle of your post-dinner dishwashing routine.
But what if we told you all those delicate dishes didn’t have to make mealtime inconvenient? Thermador dishwashers offer a deep clean with a feather-light touch, keeping all your dishes in perfect condition no matter what they’re made of. Let’s check out how a Thermador can protect your favorite dishware and give you something to celebrate this holiday season!
Wine Glasses
All Thermador dishwashers combine high-powered cleaning abilities with gentle care, but one stands apart from the rest as the perfect choice for your holiday dishwashing: the Glass Care Center. This dishwasher is designed especially for washing glasses and stemware with a gentle touch. The lower drawer fits up to 26 regular-sized wine glasses, or nearly twice that many champagne glasses if toasts are more your thing! A specialized Glass Care Center washer keeps all your wine glasses in perfect condition for special occasions, and all year round!
Crystal
Thermador has all your crystal covered too! Thermador’s Glass Care Center features a special Crystal Protection System. Water softeners treat your crystal glasses and bowls to a delicate but thorough wash, preventing your crystal from being scratched or losing its natural sparkle. Not to mention, the dishwasher’s Star Glow inner illumination shows off the brilliance of your crystal when you’re unloading after a cycle, so you can see with your own eyes that not a speck of grime is left behind!
Fine China
Cleaning painted china is perhaps the diciest part of holiday cleanup. Holiday dinners just aren’t the same without Grandma’s china gravy boat, but getting all the gunk out afterwards is hardly a treat. Hand washing is the safest option for antique or metal-trimmed china, but if your special china set is on the newer side, it’s likely designed to easily withstand a trip through the wash, especially if that wash cycle is in a Thermador.
Set your china pieces apart from other dishes on the rack, ensuring that they don’t touch one another or any other dishware, so that the delicate paint isn’t rubbed off. Then, select your Thermador’s Delicate/Economy Wash option. The gentle touch and cooler washing temperatures of this option will keep your china looking as beautiful as the day Grandma found it at the thrift store!
Utensils
Even your favorite silverware and kitchen utensils are well taken care of with a Thermador dishwasher! Thermador’s Sapphire and Star Sapphire dishwashers offer specialty Entertainer’s and Chef’s Tool Drawers for all your extra utensils and flatware!
The Entertainer’s Drawer is designed just for hard-to-place items like ramekins, dessert bowls, and silverware. The Chef’s Tool Drawer easily holds long-handled and awkwardly-shaped utensils like whisks, ladles, and tongs, which some dishwashers struggle to get completely clean. Whatever you use your third rack for, Thermador makes sure your dishes come out squeaky clean every time!
Vases
Finally, the décor! Vases full of seasonal flowers and foliage bring the look and feel of your table together, but how do they affect your dishwashing experience? Tall, skinny vases might typically be a source of confusion once they get to the kitchen (what do you use, a pipe cleaner? Some uncooked spaghetti?) but no more! Thermador’s Extra-Tall-Item Sprinkler shoots water up into hard-to-reach spots like vases and carafes, giving them as complete a clean as anything else in your kitchen.
With Thermador, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your holiday dinners without worrying about what comes after. Because with Thermador, washing even the most delicate dishes is simple! Come by our store and check out all the latest models we have in stock. This holiday season, let us help you enjoy luxury dish care right in the comfort of your home with a brand new Thermador dishwasher.
