How to clean and care for knives.
ZWILLING is one of the best-known knife brands in the world and has stood for the highest quality cutlery for almost 300 years. With the right care, our knives often last a lifetime. So that this happens to you, here are some important care instructions:
The most important care instruction concerns the cleaning of your knife: To prevent premature wear and tear due to aggressive cleaning agents, we recommend cleaning by hand with lukewarm water, a mild washing-up liquid, and a scratch-free dishcloth or sponge. Knives made from special melted steel are dishwasher-safe. However, the washing temperature should not exceed 55 °C.
Dishwasher yes or no?
It is advisable to store knives separately in the machine to avoid hitting other objects during the wash cycle. Dishwasher detergents often contain harsh cleaning chemicals that can damage the surface of plastic and steel. Hence our warning: Cleaning in the dishwasher can shorten the service life and edge retention.
Is the knife in the dishwasher? There lies the problem:
Less dishwasher, more from the knife
You see, even for knives labeled dishwasher safe, the facts tend to speak against machine cleaning unless you have a dedicated industrial dishwasher in your kitchen. Aggressive chemicals, high temperatures, physical contact with other objects in the standard household dishwasher, and often washing for hours - such circumstances are not conducive to the life of your knife.
Therefore, you should clean your knives by hand, it is much faster and still effective. Hot water, a sponge or a dish brush, and a simple dishcloth or microfiber cloth for drying are sufficient for most normal soiling in everyday kitchen life. Knife care is done.

Tip: Storage is also part of care!
And after rinsing? Even then you can still make a not-unimportant contribution to making your knife last longer. It's happiest when it has a good spot of its own, not in a collection compartment in the cutlery drawer, along with scissors, salad servers, and other knives. A knife block is best for careful, gentle knife storage. But drawer compartments or protective covers are also beneficial for careful knife storage.

Knives with wooden handles, such as our Japanese knives, are completely unsuitable for cleaning in the dishwasher and should only be cleaned by hand. So that the wood does not become brittle and dry, we recommend regular treatment with oil (e.g. linseed oil) or wax (e.g. beeswax) for knife care. This gives the wood an effective protective film as well as a silky shine and a rich color.

The handles of the non-riveted knives are made of polypropylene. This plastic is soft and comfortable to hold, yet resistant to heat, food acids, alcohol, and salts. It does not break or tear and does not absorb water. Polypropylene, therefore, has properties that no other plastic offers and dishwasher cleaning is therefore also unproblematic.
