Are your products microwaveable?

To properly care for and maintain the long life of your melamine products, we do not recommended microwaving them. Exposure to microwaves can disturb the integrity of the material, especially when combined with highly acidic foods like tomato sauce. We suggest using a separate microwavable plate or bowl to heat meals before serving them on our melamine dishes or platters.

Are your products dishwasher safe?

Our melamine products are dishwasher safe, top and bottom rack. For our Tritan acrylic drinkware products, we recommend using the top rack on a normal dishwashing cycle.

Can I use knives on your plates and platters?

We recommend avoiding the use of serrated knives and utensils on our solid color and patterned dinnerware. If and when scratches do occur, they will be less apparent on our white dinnerware and serveware.

Are your products BPA-free?

Yes, all of our melamine and Tritan drinkware products are BPA free. 

Is it safe to put cooked food directly from the grill onto your plates?

Yes. Our plates are heat-resistant and can withstand temperatures of up to 158°F / 70°C so placing hot, grilled food onto the plates is perfectly safe.

Why do I see clouding or fingerprints on my drinkware?

Some chemicals such as sunscreens, cosmetics containing sunscreen and certain essential oils can damage fabric and plastics including Tritan (the material used for our drinkware). While this will not impact the integrity of the glass, it may be more visible on our drinkware due to its clarity. We recommend avoiding contact of sunscreen, cosmetics/lotions that contain sunscreen and essentials oils with your drinkware as much as possible.

Is melamine oven-safe?

No, melamine is not recommended for oven use due to the extremes in heat temperatures.

Is melamine kid-friendly?

Q Squared products are virtually shatterproof, so kids and families can use our products indoors and outdoors without worrying about chipping or breaking.

Is melamine food safe?

Not all melamine is created equally, but Q Squared melamine is recognized as the highest quality on the market. Our dinnerware is 100% melamine and produced in our small and specialized factory. We abide by the strictest manufacturing standards and proudly use all natural dyes.

Where are you products made?

Our products are designed in New York City and manufactured in our small-batch factory in China.

Can melamine be recycled?

Melamine is categorized under Class #7 on the list of Plastic Resin Codes. This means that it is a widely used plastic that does not fit into the more commonly used #1-6 classifications and should not be thrown in your recycling bin. Melamine cannot be melted or recycled like other plastics. However, it can be ground down and used as a filler for other plastics or wood composites.
